thanks j1123

thanks..what's the option? if any

Hi everyone! how long is a 456 visa valid for? will it be enough to cover the 12week BP? if not, any options?

tnx for the inputs - yoopian and silverdragon :yelclap:

my mistake...its 3011..any thoughts about this silver dragon?

noc 3152 capped...can I apply to noc 3151 class (I am currently a headnurse)? or are 3151 and 3152 the same? replies are greatly appreciated

I think they have "different" standards and by different i mean one is not beter than the other...CGFNS follows the US system of nursing education while Canada follows its own..Dont worry about SEC, it's just a few days of lecture and exams as far as know. The bridging courses required by australia, new zealnd and UK are way longer

What do you mean re-register? technicaly, you pay 268 to be assessed and recomended for SEC. after that you can either take the exam first or aply for temporary registration for you to be able to work on another requirement - 200+ hrs (cant remember) of supervised employment... Experience does matter. BUt I know of folks here who got jobs with limited experience.. read up on the requirements and do your research on employment opportunities so you'l be well informed of the situation in BC...look at posts by breech, janfrn and silverdragon :)

Unless you already have one, the problem lies in getting a visa to complete SEC..embassy's too strict with this one..search for topics on SEC so you'll see some of the experiences of the posters who applied for visas. hope this helps oh and congrats on passing the board :ancong!:

"When Filipino nurses protested against a popular U.S. television series -- one of the show's characters had supposedly made a discriminatory remark about nurses graduating from the Philippines" ...got this out of the article. I didnt know filipino nurses got nailed too. Which show was that? :smokin:

well done breech

i get your point..but you are setting yourself up for a bashing..hope i'm wrong heheheh godbless all nurses:clown:

congrats breech!:yeah:

I think they will give an early Christmas present making the vb 2007. either who wins in the election this coming Tuesday the next president will lift the retrogresion hahahahahhahahah:yeah:

planning to locate in bc...the weather there accrdng to some posters here is better than any of the other provinces :wink2:

Hey... I was assessed by the College of RN of British Columbia and my education and credentials were deemed to be equivalent to what the province requires. I too am a 2nd courser (acntng). Finished nursing in 2.5 years...Best of luck to you. You can do it

you're right suzanne...there's more to the nclex than med surg...i jst based that opinion on my own experience when i sat for it...i stopped at item 75...jst had 2 questions on Maternal and child, 1 question on psychia..the rest med surg...the items could have been spread out i think had I reached the 265 item max. The med surg instructor I was talking about went to the US in the early 90's and worked there for sometime as an RN, I suspect to save, so he can come home and complete his medical degree...placed 12th on the medical board yet never was a placer in the '92 NLE(any MERGE Baby reading this will recognize this fella immidiately heheh) he says he's only worked a few years here in the phils as an MD..as to why he's in a review center now i can only speculate that he earns more..anyhow, i'm glad i sat through his discussions...realy helped boost my confidence :yeah:

my med surg instructor at merge was an RN MD not MD RN..get the flow? has worked in the US as a reg nurse...7 days all med surg topics got me realy confident that i passd the nclex first time...dont worry about available slots...i scheduled 6 days before the exam. good luck! :yeah:

My experience... 1.6 mos volunteer? jst leave it blank or put a "0" and add a cover letter stating that you havent found work yet..if employed then you have to fill it out 2.Bank/demand draft in dollars (must have dollar account)..i used landbank 3.Our school registrar knew what to do when i handed the VT Verification of Education form 4.That was how I answered them 5.include a fotocpy of your license, pasport, etc(look at the instruction page) goodluc! Ace the exam! strength to the filipino!

this has to be one of the best post i'v read :yeah: ...soooooo true and honest....and not a hint of negativity

hey namurit! it was realy funny what u said about us pinoy nurses taking 1,000,000 years to work in the US......dont get distracted with the time frame...better having the visa screen on hand than wait for the retro to lift to start applying for 1..pinoy pride!

BC's a good idea...I hope everything turns out well for you guys. Oh! and the Memorandum Circular (MC) 04, series of 2007..concerning the $5000 bond was suspended last month http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20080214-118871/POEA-suspends-memo-on-employers-5000-repatriation-bond (as explained by our cute administration..the employer doesnt realy pay 5K...it's about $35-$50 yearly for the BOND premium...5K's d coverage) happy easter guys!

Now i'm confused... can one realy have an SSN and not be a greencard holder?

hyveth from my experience, i sent a fotocopy of my boardrating with my application for licensure in vermont.Along with the application i made a cover letter indicating that our lovely prc is a pentium snail processor.kidding :) jst tel d guys in vermont that u'l send d license wen it's available. worked for me..gud luck
