Thank you for replying so quickly. I said I took nursing course mean I am not away from nursing career in these 2 years. It has no relationship with working hours. I always thought working experience is easy to calculate. Now I find it's not easily to be accept when you change job.

Thank you, Janfrn and Fiona59. I communicated to HR. The answer is for full time nurse, we only consider whole year not working hours. Your overtime working hours cannot be accumulated equal to working years. And HR said since there's more than 2 years between you left your last job and started this job. I should have not give you any credit. Is that mean I should start as new graduate? Plus I took nursing course in these 2 years. I cannot understand. If some mom return to work 2 years later then she has to lose all the working experience. I only have to accept this result now.

My hospital doesn't have union for RN. But they pay consistent with union. If they admit my 8 months, it's really easy to change the salary because our hospital is small. And the money is not more for employer, just little for a hospital. Anyway, it broke my heart. Thank you for replying.

I am working in Toronto. It's my first job in Canada. When I started several months ago, Human Resource accepted my experience in my home country. It's totally 20month, means 1year+ 8months. So salary go up to 28.08/hr. Now 4 months passed. I thought it's my 2 years. The salary should go up to 28.55/hr. But the payroll didn't change anything. When I talked to HR. She said they only accept th whole year, so they ignored that 8 months. I asked my colleague who is native of Canada when they change the job if it's not exactly the whole year,how the next hospital deal with it. She said they only see hours. But according to hours, in the last 20 months I already worked over 2 years' hours because my home country always overtime. It shows on that reference letter.What can I do now? Please help me! I only have to accept the result or discuss with them again? I will really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Thanks

Thank you so much for giving me a concrete answer. I am in Toronto.

The place where I am working only have 8-hours shift. Minus the lunch/supper time 1/2 hour they pay 7.5hrs every shift. Of course there is premium for evening shift and night shift and weekend. I want to know if the shift is 12 hours, how the employer pay? Like how many paid hours each shift? How much time for break (employer paid) each shift? over the 8 hrs, next 4 hous is there any premium? Please give me some information of 12-hrs shift! :nuke:

I am working in a place no union for RN there. I think I have to pay by myself. Because last time I saw an employer post AD saying they will pay renew fee for 2009. So it made me confused.

Thank you for your reply. You gave me very concrete answer. I am not confused with renew of CNO and RNAO. They are two seperate question.

It's time to renew license. I applied in July 2008, so it's my first time to renew. I am working in toronto. I want to know we have to pay ourselves from own purse or it will be covered by employer? Another question is : how many RN join in the RNAO? I have no idea whether I 'd better join in. thanks :)

It's from CNO. http://www.cno.org/pubs/profprofile.html She said I can pay $15+$5shipping fee=$20.

Today I received the registration form and the professional profile discount coupon? I want to know how many of you bought it? Do I need to buy the "Professional Profile". Is it useful? I already had the compendium before the CRNE.

Don't lose your confidence. You will be successful next time. By the way, I heard if you fail, you will receive the detail in your letter. Do you know the pass score?

same materials I used.even the 2000 prep guide.

I received the letter just now. I passed. I am so lucky. Thanks to the GOD!
