  1. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    I really do not have to make you believe me. I also guess you did not understand. I am already here in Alberta completing the requirements CARNA subjected me to. I said it is more complex here because...

  2. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    Besides for me, whether they stay or not is not the major issue here. It is their life, it is up to them. It is the fact that Captial Health hires and permits foreign nurses to practice as LPN's...

  3. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    I am a Filipino RN and I am following the process of registering to write the boards here. If they want to be an RN here, they can also accept the fact that it it more complex here. They can be...

  4. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    I agree. In my opinion, since these NCLEX passers are trained as RN's, they should practice as RN's. If they want to practice as LPN's in Canada or anywhere else, they should follow the process,...

  5. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    (Please disregard my prior post. This is the one I am supposed to submit, thanks) I never said RN's are bosses of LPN's. Sorry if you got that impression. I apologize about not having much information...

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    I never said RN's are bosses of LPN's. Sorry if you got that impression. I apologize about not having much information about LPN`s as I have said back home we don't even have LPN's... only RN's and...

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    "My, oh, my. Purplehippo you have a lot to learn." "If you truly want to nurse in Alberta or anywhere else in Canada, you had better develop an understanding of what an RN and an LPN is and what their...

    Fact still remains... registered nurses are different from

  10. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    Yup, all they undergo is an orientation, because they are all competent and equipped with skills as NURSES, not as LPN's... So if they are really smart and bright and talented, let them follow the...

  11. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    In line with the education in the Philippines... I don't agree that what we undergo there, the 4 years of university taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is not a joke! It depends on the...

  12. Phil RN's as LPN

    purplehippo replied to purplehippo's topic in Canada

    I think it is but fair that they still write the LPN exam. How come this is allowed in Canada? Being able to work in a licensed position wothout a license? Simply because they are NCLEX

  13. Alberta: What the heck is this?? "Substantively Equivalent Competence assessment"

    purplehippo replied to gchelak's topic in Canada

    I think each internationally educated nurse (IEN) must undergo the SEC just to be fair. Since CARNA does not simply base an IEN's nursing competency simply based on the latter's BSN degree program,...

  14. Alberta: What the heck is this?? "Substantively Equivalent Competence assessment"

    purplehippo replied to gchelak's topic in Canada

    I think I would have to agree! Right now I am not encouraging my RN friends from the Philippines to apply here. It takes a really more complicated process to register here. Some of them are just...

  15. Alberta: What the heck is this?? "Substantively Equivalent Competence assessment"

    purplehippo replied to gchelak's topic in Canada

    I totally understand... But there is really nothing much we can do... follow up, and pray

    purplehippo replied to gchelak's topic in Canada

    NM verification? Anyway, they took 2 months to reply to me. so.... God bless... We all have to

    Yeah... I hope and pray to God this will work for me as

    purplehippo posted a topic in International Nursing

    I applied in a hospital here at Alberta last 2006. I have been assessed last January 2007 (5 days, very very challenging I should say!) and now subjected to pass 2 courses BEFORE I can be given a...

  20. nclex passer = LPN

    purplehippo replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    Also, again, I do not agree with what they are doing. It is not right. I have called the attention of my friend already. I am not in the position to stop her, but I just hope I have enlightened her...

  21. nclex passer = LPN

    purplehippo replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    I totally understand. I will just update you guys when she arrives and works. I mean, you guys need proof... we all need proof... I looked up the agency and of course, it is based here in

  22. nclex passer = LPN

    purplehippo replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    I am sorry but I just had to add... Is anyone interested to hear from my friend when she arrives this month and work as an LPN in the ICU? I mean, you all need to know if this is all real and...

  23. nclex passer = LPN

    purplehippo replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with you about the very entitled attitude of some (not all!) Filipino nurses and students who post here, who seem to feel they are doing the rest of us a big favor by coming to our countries....

  24. nclex passer = LPN

    purplehippo replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, I really do not agree with those fellow citizens. Some really are capable and will ensure quality and safe care wherever they may be. Some are just here to... well, as they said, use Canada as...
