You need to take NCLEX to practice RN in US. Then find a hosp. that can sponsor you.If u are from U.S and want to practice here in Au u need to register as RN in Aphra just google the website.

Nsw hourly rate depends on number of years of experience. I have a friend working in ICU in a private hospital with previous 4 yrs experience and he gets 28dollars an hour while my other friend in a private aged care dementia unit with previous 8 yrs experience currently receiving 34 dollars an hour plus penalties when she work night shift or weekend.

There are lots of shifts for Rn available in Sydney. Im a night RN, and if one of the AM Rn ring in sick the day before her shift. We always have trouble getting a replacement. Most of the time i can't get any..

hi!janfrn,5cats and everybody, I got a letter of invitation to come to surrey B.C from CRNBC, for the SEC assessment, honestly i have decided already not to pursue with this assessment because i know that it will cost me so much to travel to Canada. I just want to ask.....if anybody of you have gone through the same process already. It was stated in the invitation that i have to apply for a TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA to attend SEC. (I was expecting that they want me to travel on tourist visa) I just want to ask to those who have gone through the same process. Granting i would be granted for a temporary resident visa to come to surrey B.C, will i be allowed to stay after the assessment and for example if i am going to pass the SEC assessment. Will i be allowed in this visa to look for a hospital to sponsor me for a Temporary Work permit to stay and work in Canada. To save some travel cost. My apologies to the moderator if ever my question is not allowed here coz i am already asking about visa and maybe out of the topic already. Thank u so much! j8win

thanks!janfrn..yup, i guess i have to go for plan number 2 and forget about nursing in Canada. I am still trying to think of what to do next..

no..they said..i don't have to pay for it. But being a mummy, i can't just go there. I need to invest huge amount of money on this. Anyway, i always hold on to God's promise. "For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." [Jeremiah 29:11]" Thanks so much 5cats!

hi!5cats, thanks for your concern, yes i haven't been working for more than 2 years now.I worked in saudi arabia for more than 8 years in a tertiary hospital under JCIA (owned by the king of k.s.a). I graduated from the Philippines but i am a resident of another country. Since i left saudi arabia i devoted my time to my daughter, and since she's on pre-school now, i am trying my luck for my Canadian dream. I always dream of living and working in Canada since i was young despite being a resident now of another country other than Philippines.The decision made by CRNBC was really dissapointing on my part. Yes, they want me to complete SEC on mental,med-surg and maternal/newborn nursing as well on child health. On sept. I will be totally out of practice for 3 years. I just wish that they will give me a chance to prove myself. Sad.

I will not be able to do this SEC Assessment coz i know that i am going to invest lots of money on this.... I felt it is the end of my dream of becoming an RN in Bc....i am dissappointed....anyway thanks everyone.

hi! I am also trying to find answer to my question. I applied in CRNBC after a friend of mine from college.. was given an eligibility to sit for CRNE. I was expecting to receive the same assessment and was hoping also to get an eligibility.. instead i got a letter from CRNBC asking me to come to surey B.C to have that SEC Assessment and since this will involve a lot of money, ithink this will be the end of my dream of becoming an RN in BC canada. I am dissappointed and shock at the momemt..i don't know what to do next..

hi! Breech and everyone, I sent my CRNBC application last november. I was expecting to receive an eligibility to take the CRNE exam this month, instead i got a letter from CRNBC asking me to come to Canada to take a SEC assessment in Kwantlen Polytechnic University that will take for 1-5 days. They are giving me one year to comply for this.I know that i will not be able to do this assessment and I know that an application is being assessed individually but im just sharing it with all of you and i'm a little bit ...dissappointed of the outcome of my application....

I worked in an out patient department for 4 years too. Some doctors are really difficult to deal with ....oh...specially arab doctors:banghead:. (peace:saint:)that is based on my experience..

november 15, 2008 documents resent to canadian embassy, manila. good luck breech..

to:joshuaha Other hospitals in S.A. are not accepting male nurses, but in the hospital that i worked with in jeddah, there are many male nurses all over the world.

working in Saudi: 1-how advanced are some hospitals/computer documentation available? (never worked anyplace without the nice computerized physician order entry programs) 2-are there any burn units in saudi? (i currently work in a burn ICU and love it) 3-what the pt load (nurse to pt ratio) in med-surg in rayadh hospitals?? i plan to apply to an agency at the end of the yr. thank you all! for RNgirlie: 1. king faisal is a paperless hosp, orders are placed and carried-out on computers. 2. haven't heard of a burn unit in saudi usually these patients are also placed either on surgical or medical unit. 3. ratio usually is 1:5 hope that helps1

Hi!breech and everyone, Can you please help me with this! In the CRNBC ELIGIBILITY application, is there a part in that page that needs to be notarize? Coz i read an article about having it notarize before sending it to Vancouver and i already sent mine last wk and i can't remember a portion of it that needs to be notarize. What will i do. Thank u!

National Guard offers the best package too!Nice hospital and accomodation. They'll give you 2way free air ticket every 6 months i heard.. I can vote for King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center-jeddah, i worked there for many years, if given the chance to go back. I wish i can. By the way....i'm a filipina too

Hi! I just want to share my experience in working in saudi arabia. I worked for king faisal specialist hospital jeddah for 8 years, It was the best time of my life i was earning 3x compared to the salary of other filipino nurses in small hospitals there. Lived alone in a flat(not sharing),enjoyed the amenities of the accomodation with swimming pool,sauna,gym and other recreational amenities.The accomodation guard doesnt care and check on your apartment, they dont even care if you still lived there as long as you report on your duty on time. I can go to a supermarket wearing my scrub suit.I have worked with male western nurses as well, we also have Male nurses from Jordan, we are free to talk to them and join them in the smoking area during breaks, we are free to travel to other countries during holidays. (i mean the hospital can sponsor you,and you can get a visa wtout any problem) I am allowed to get my husband,children,parents as my dependent on my own expense of course. I can go to Christian religious activities. All i can say is "it was the best time of my life. The story of Dalzac's friend is true, a true life of an OFW in Saudi Arabia,especially in some remote areas of the kingdom. I maybe lucky not to experience that. Thank you.

hi!everyone, i have submitted my application to crnbc and i am waiting for their assessment. i am presently not working since 2006 since i gave birth to my only child, but i had previous 8 years experience. i applied for an employer in vancouver but he said they requires all applicants to be currently practicing nursing in order to consider for a position in vancouver. can somebody answer me please. do you think all employers in bc only accepts nurses that are currently practicing? any employer/hospital that you can suggest that i should send my application to.thank you so much.
