Congratulations, 3RNa! I'm from North York too but nothing in the mail today yet. You're the only person "i know" who got the result from Ontario! Even those Ontarian in Canadian RN exam FB account didn't get theirs yet.

Okay, thanks. I think I have to call them now. Thank you so much. Thay sent me a letter stating that they will only start the process of my eligibility after all the requirements are passed. But as of now, I only want to know if what are the subjects that I still have to take. But anyway, I will still contact them about this one. Thanks:saint:

yeah. i know that they require IELTS and Im planning to take it soon, Im just waiting for the evaluation if I still have to do bridging programs. Im planning to register in Ontario and yes i think I still have to do some bridging programs. Thanks for the concern.

yeah of course they require ielts but i still have not taken that. i just let my credentials be assessed so i'll know if i still have to take upgrading programs or just to know the subjects that i still have to take. Thanks for your concern. Just feel free to correct me if there's anything wrong. are you already here in Canada? at what province? Best of luck and God bless..

hi purple! just want to make it clear that i didnt say that most filipino nurses plan to make Canada as their stepping stone to US. This was my actual post "hello there! i beg to disagree with that Filipino nurse who told you that. i know a lot of philippine nurses who would not want to work in another country. It's just a matter of personal choices. i also want to agree with you that other people, not only Filipinos, should not make Canada as their stepping stone for them to go to US. Canada is a great country and i know you'll love it here" --you can check it here --https://allnurses.com/forums/f108/demand-nurses-canada-323593-4.html ------------ Please be careful next time. I dont support those people who uses another country as their stepping stone to go to US and i also think it's unfair to generalize filipino nurses or any other nationality. anyway, best of luck and God bless to you.. Just PM me if you want to ask something. Hopefully, you'll love it here in canada. What province are you planning to register?

hi molly! im also here in ontario! im also seeking for registration here. by the way, CRNE can only be taken here in canada and it is administered 3 times/yr....:wink2:

hello! i graduated from St.Paul University and wanting to become a registered nurse here in ONtario, Canada.

hi suze! hope you will be here within 9months so you'll be reunited with your hubby, somehow i also have same situation with you:redbeathe for now, concentrate on your NLE. review well and do it by heart, dont just memorize because that wont even work. hopefully, by the time you're bound to go here, you're already a registered nurse there. PM/Email me if you want. Best of LUck and God Bless!

CRNE without short answer questions will be until february 2010.. am i right?

hmm,,this is an interesting one! although it varies from one person to another and from province to province, can you(Filipino nurses in Canada or those who already have their eligibility) tell us your situation? thanks..

hello! when will you sit crne and what province? if i were you, i'll try to buy the latest edition. anyway, let's wait for others to comment on this one. those who had taken the exam will have more inputs. just dropped by actually to tell you best of luck on your exam and bless you!

hello! i just want to make a thread so we know the person/s with the same situation like us. just state your 1. place of origin 2. school where you finished you RN degree 3. work place 4. plans/exams to take Best of luck to all!:redbeathe

i also have same query about license. i am already here in canada, do i have to renew my license in the philippines? if yes, what are the other requirements in renewing?(except those stated below) is it okay if i am not a member of PNA? thanks!:redbeathe

i went to the site of nursing bodies in BC and Alberta. i noticed that in their application package, the form that is to be sent to the School of nursing where one completed his nursing program there is a table where the school will write the number of theory hours and clinical hours. but in CNO there is none. im just really curious if how will they go about it. they have specific number of hours for theory but how can they possibly know that one? my transcript of records in school doesn't have theory hours in it- it only have the subjects, units and grades. anyone here planning to become an RN in Ontario? or those registered in Ontario? anyone can answer though. thanks:saint:

thanks janfrn! i read from other thread that CNO is the most strict of all the nursing bodies in canada:( anyway, just have to deal with it:wink2: i'll keep you posted about my application(in case others have same situation) thanks again and more power

hello guys! i know that the nursing bodies need certain number of hours in clinical duties and theory classes so that they can evaluate my application for licensing. my question is, how can they know the exact number of hours in my theory class which in fact it is not stated in my Transcript of records. i just dont know how can they evaluate that one. thanks to the moderators! more power!

thanks:wink2: i think i have to start doing something to be at par with others! best of luck to everyone!

thank you!

i must say you're right with what you've said! others here are just stereotyping, which we nurses should not do. nevertheless, that remedial class is, as you said, should be case to case basis. in the philippines they use primarily Tagal0g and "occassionally" english so you have to expect that not ALL of the filipinos are that fluent in english. but most of them know hot to write and speak in english. one more thing, i also know a lot of natives here in canada that are poor in grammar and often misspell words. so the bottom line is, never ever generalize because you know for a fact that it is not acceptable! by the way, i am just happy because here in Ontario, all cultures are accepted and the natives here are very RESPECTFUL and HELPFUL to the immigrants. God bless!

same sentiments here. but it's okay, i'll just take their comments in a more positive way.

i think you're right! we should not generalize!

i already read it that's why i posted my feelings. hope they could come here as soon as possible. they will surely love it here:wink2:

thanks.. do you have an idea if they solely depends on the subjects/courses that i finished or do they also consider my grades? what if someone graduated as cum laude, does it make a difference? thanks again...

hi guys! ive read that this agency deploys philippines nurses in short period of time with free fare, etc.. but my question is what is the catch of the agency? they are agency right so they surely will profit much from you. do they have contract? or how much do they pay when you get there.. keep in mind, when you get there you will not work as RN rather as a GN. it's two different things. does that agency already sent nurses to canada? can someone lighten me and the others about this. it's just that i had jitters when i found out how fast the process is... but you know i will be very happy if you guys will have the chance to work here..
