hello to all!! i missed writing here huh? this time i need your stories on how your anxiety was on the first day of your psychiatric nursing exposure in the mental institution. i am doing my research studies on this. if any one of you knows where i should look or what website would i be able to see how the nursing students' anxiety are in their first day of their psychia exposure or minutes and hours before they face their clients in the mental hospital or facility. please , please anyone...i will be very happy to be a member of this website.

It was a Big nursing Home facility which has branches all over Canada. I applied as a graduate nurse. My problem actually is the Head or Owner? made a contract that stated ten yrs. of for permanent term if possible....as the term of the contract- that was probably a problem..that could have made the consul disagree...anyway ...it all dpends on how he/she will interpret this...My employer told me to reapply after I was denied but still she did not change the term of contract that she wrote...it was still for ten years.

BLESSED23, I do not wish to discourage you. I have always wanted to work in the U.S. because I felt so secured when I was there in 2001 as a tourist. I wanted to bring my family back to the U.S. and build my house there. I wanted to be walking in the streets and inhale and exhale American air. I wanted to let my husband and children feel how nice it is to ride a car and travel long distances through land and still get a nice road. I wanted to have a house which has nice automized machines and truly organized gadget around the house. I passed my NCLEX, 2005, CGFNS and IELTs, have a VISA screen and even a course by course complete education equivalence by CGFNS.Have a 3 yr. experience, BUT??? i am still in the Philippines. ...today.:zzzzz Now..I should have...applied to other countries when I had finished my experience in one yr. I should have considered other trainings and spent for the training rather than paying the exams and other papers. I should have accepted other countries. That is now for you to decide.:)

They said that I do not show any reason that I will come back if my contract expires, which of course cannot be explained... Are they telling me that I have the tendency to stay as illegal because I donnot need to come back to the Philippines because I already have my husband in Canada. ??? WHO is there to go back to the Philippines then??? my kids are not the reasons??/WHY should they ask this? when I am in contract in my LMO? :zzzzz I just thought, maybe the Canada Consul cannot think of anything to say, but this...which I just to put one plus one equals two. They meant to say that YOU can apply but YOU need to go back to the PHILIPPINES only if you leave your family behind. Now is my 2nd time around to apply:p because my LMO should not be wasted because it will expire by 2011. I sent my application Nov. 15 and until now there are no replies. Of course my medical is still actively in use.So I did not need another medical.

I did not apply yet to the CRNNS that time( College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia.) I did not know it must be done first, so I was not eligible to work because I had no eligibility letter form the CRNNS. Now, I have applied again for the 2nd time and I already have an eligibility from the CRNNS. BUT, I decided not to bring my husband in the application anymore. and hope IO won't be denied this time around:up:

I have been through this process of applying to Canada. I have an LMO and I was denied. I don't really know why. But this is my story during the process. I had an employer who contacted me thru a friend and she sent me the LMO . I included my husband in the accompanying member of the family and sent MY application without his papers in it because I thought it would be requested later by the Embassy. About after a week, I decided to send the application papers of my husband as accompanying member on open work permit to the embassy ( so it was a separate application from mine. ) for Canada . After about 2 months, I received a letter that I was denied because of some reasonable circumstance but...my husband's application reply from them, came after about 3 weeks more and indicated that he did not pass because he has not been listed as exemption to the application category???#Z%?? weird answer. So, maybe you need to let your husband apply first and when he will be there, apply the accomoanying member on open work permit.

To jbc76, I think you need to mail the License Analyst of Ca BON.. Or just mail POST MAIL to the California BON

Your story really made me feel good inside. I passed the NCLEX exam when I took it just once in 2005 of May, one yr. after I graduated in Nursing. You made me cry this morning. Tears fell down when I finally read the ending part of your conquest of the NCLEX. I could just imagine...how much you have memorized the rules in the exam. Hahahaha!! . I could see that you are a very determined person. I SALUTE you! How I wish I could share your story to my students in Nursing who have failed too. I want to hug you too. There is nothing more to say but....You ..just be happy Now.....!!!Owww!! Great!!!

Hello...well..you need to look for the website of the California Board and You need to start at least 6 months prior to your expiration date and not earlier for they do not have time to review it if it is too early....Okey?? Are you from the Philippines?? Just text me.........Am I allowed to give my number here??

Well, suzanne, I am glad I read your comment here..I was getting afraid that my priority date in the NVC would mean 2012 would be the year my visa will be approved, so I decided to start applying for transfer of NClex to Vermont since that was your suggestion I think one yr. ago too. But, too my surprise, the California sent me a letter again this Month that they have extended my NCLEX result to up to 2010. They have extended it already to 2009 last yr. I am so happy about this thread. I will wait for another year again....until they get tired of renewing...until then...I would finally transfer to VERMONT.. Is this correct?

OKay..I am so glad I read this site again.. I wanna help..:typing I have renewed my NCLEX result 2X already. I am a California Passer. Took the exam May 19 ,2005....My agency helped me renew my NCLEX result 2X and of course I did some emails to the Ca BON too. I emailed them 6 months prior to the expiration date ..Have done this twice...WHICH I hope could be renewed again next year... My application for the visa is in the NVC with a priority date of 2007...so I am waiting in queue....Good luck:)

hey everyone there!!! i have a need for your answers here. i just hope someone with this same predicament could read this....................... you see, i have an employer in nova scotia who has hired me as graduate nurse in their large health care facility. to make things short, i have applied to the canadian embassy now, i have accomplished all the papers( including tthe crnns), and i am just waiting for the result which has already been four months since i sent the papers in november 2008. now, i have read and have heard from seminars here in our city that canadian immigration has accelerated in 30 labor noc specified areas including registered nurses and college instructors in which we or i belong to. i had sent an assessment check on my case and i passed . now..the question is...( wooh...that was long huh?) can anyone tell me if i could apply as an immigrant now when my papers are on the process for temporary work permit?? i need to know your opinion on this because i have ielts that is going to be one year old this march 30. i cannot spend another time reviewing for ielts anymore if this expires again( canadian requires at least one yr. old ielts at the time of the application) . please please anyone there...take your time to answer me.:icon_roll may god bless you..

You are right..............RIGHTO!!! I think my sis mentioned the recession might be dipping down to depression .............in U.S.

Yes, I still want to work in the U.S of A. It is not the fault of the government but...the people who believed that qualified Filipino nurses can rely on them to be able to go to U.S. fast..if you have all the documents...etcetera...well..they just failed. Now I am aiming to leave our country..but this time....I try to turn my eyes around to countries like Australia and Canada. It looks to me that my U.S. visa will be viewed on 2011. So...hmmmm.I think I ought to give other countries a chance to have my services. Agree?

Looks like the replies were a bit late huh??? But anyhow.... I am a good English speaker and I have been an English tutor sometime in my past. Unfortunately, I have a very poor writing ( can't be read), quite flowery in words in Essay...so to say..I am frustrated with writing in IELTS. Okey so...may I share this knowledge that I have towards this IELTS ? I need to hear from you guys...If countries consider patients' care to be at stake in their IELTS passing score.. kindly explain....... CANADA and U.S. consider you as a passer of their required English capablity if you have a Total band score of even as low as 6.5 TOTAL. Which also shows that they want you to have a 7 as SPEAKING score and they will not mind a score of a lesser listening, reading and writing....as long as you have a total score of all these to at least 6.5 BAND SCORE They believe that verbal communication is what matters most here. AURSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND IRELAND consider you to be a passer if you have NO score below 7... meaning the least score that you have should be 7...... if you have only 6.5....they won't accept you..(but Canada and U.S. will accept you) What's the difference?? Does this mean, Americans and Canadians don't need to have the best English takers compared to the other said countries? Or are these countries practically know that a matter of .5 in the score is pointless? Oh well.. I think ...they made the right decision and rules to this IELTS....thanks to these two countries.:icon_roll:yeah:
