MAY GOD BE PRAISED!!! I passed too :) Congrats to those who did too... For those who are waiting, my prayer is with you. I am sorry for those who did not. God bless us all!

Hi, Alberta is way [much] stricter than Saskatchewan! I have batchmates who have the same credentials as I do who applied there in Saskatchewan and they were permitted to work as grad nurses: no bridging, no courses. I applied here in Alberta and was...

Someone posted that she applied both in BC and Alberta. She was granted a temporary registration in BC while was denied registration in Alberta. Go to "CARNA registration advice please" in ths forum :)

I would like to congratulate the UPCN batch 2008 for 100% passing rate (as usual) and being part of the top 10: wherein the 9 spots came from the university! I am proud of you :) Let us all be grateful to our Lord!

70%, hmm... I do hope it will help. It just like being back to university all over again, way more expensive this time. The price my aunt paid for the 3 months is equivalent to the whole 4 years I spent in in college, with all the books and medical ...

Thank you. Lots of patience and sacrifices was made but they will all pay off, I hope and believe. I heard somewhere that the statistics show that IEN's percentage for passing CRNE is 60%? It is one of the reasons why CARNA have these courses, to su...

Oh and you might want to try applying in Saskatchewan too. I have a batchamte from the university back home who applied there. We have the same class standing (GPA and all) and same quality tertiary hopital experience but he got in Regina hospital as...

I took my SEC 1st week of January and got the result last week of February. I was subjected to take 2 courses before I can be issued the GN permit. I was not offered the restricted permit. Perhaps during that time it was not even being implemented ye...

Okay thanks. God bless you :)

Is it true that the CRNE format now just includes multiple choice questions and no more short answer questions? Thanks!

To those who did not believe my reply to a post last time... Here are the facts: Filipino RN's who are NCLEX passers are recruited by Mercan agency. Due to reciprocity, they are able to work as LPN's in hospitals like Sturgeon Community Hospital in S...

Yup and I still stand with the right thing. To be licensed, one must write and pass the board exam for that profession.

I asked again my friend for the nth time and this is what she said: And I will just quote her (through chat in messenger so these are her exact words): "Yup I am working as an LPN already, but still with conditional license. They are still waiting fo...

Again, I agree that for one to practice in a licensed profession anywhere, she/he must write and pass the board exam for that profession. I might meet her on the 26th...I shall ask if I can see her license and learn if she really IS WORKING AS AN LP...

Then why is my friend working as an LPN already? She said that it is only during the time that she is going to apply as an RN that she will write the CRNE. She is not writing the LPN board exam at all. These first wave of registered nurses you mentio...

So... we'll just have to see, won't we? As it is she is practicing as an LPN already without having to write the LPN board exam and her contract is good for 1 year. As I have said, hers is not an isolated case.

My friend finally called. Still the same facts. She wasn't misled by the agency nor went here in Alberta with the knowledge that she still has to write and pass the LPN board exam. I advised her to write the board exam anyway, but she said the previ...

SO we all agree that these NCLEX passers SHOULD WRITE the LPN board exam if they want to practice as LPN's whether here in Canada or anywhere else. But... as it is... again... it is being done already, sorry but true... my friend along with the other...

I know that. I am directly hired by the hospital on a grad nurse permit, have 3 chances to write the CRNE to become a registered nurse. SO like I said? I also believe that these NCLEX passers should write the LPN board exam if they want to practice a...

Yes, why would I make this up? What do I get from this? I am not even proud of it... I am simply stating the information supplied to me. Well basically because that is WHAT IS BEING INTRUCTED AND EXPLAINED to my friend by the agency. She, along with ...

Most of us do not believe it but it is happening. It is what they call "reciprocity"? I kept on verifying if the person I know will be writing the LPN board exam and she keeps on answering, "No, I won't as I am an NCLEX passer. Others who were recru...

Upon completion of the program, you will be prepared to write a national Practical Nurse examination to obtain a licence to practise nursing in Alberta. Some will NEED to write it. Some (NCLEX PASSERS) won't unless they want to. Good for them they ...

i have to agree with you on this point that's why i said from the beginning to meet with capital health on regards these filipino RNs with lpn licences and practicing their profession without malpractice insurances.( by the way nurses in the philippi...

No I am actually happy they are coming. I do not have anything against them. It is their way of moving on with their careers and nursing experinece, being able to help their families back home just like the rest of us, etc. They can go on and move to...
