  2. How to become a Registered nurse in Canada?

    RN_Canada replied to CaptainClutch's topic in Nurse Registration

    It is much easier to get registered and much easier to immigrate if you have work experience as a nurse. Paid employment is not the requirement it is nursing experience. As long as you can prove that...

  3. Can you be an Registered nurse in Canada without degree?

    RN_Canada replied to David323's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks Fiona, I did realize that but just wanted to offer information about other provinces to point out that it is handled slightly differently in every province. Some provinces in Canada will accept...

  4. Can you be an Registered nurse in Canada without degree?

    RN_Canada replied to David323's topic in Nurse Registration

    A degree is an entry to practice requirement in all of Canada but each province applies this requirement differently for internationally educated nurses. If you apply for registration without a degree...

  8. Is it possible to be registered in British Columbia as an LPN and RN at the same time

    RN_Canada replied to uk.nurse's topic in Canada

    You can have a dual license...however, you can never give up your obligation to work according to professional standards. So with dual license if you work as an LPN, you get paid as a LPN and you do...

  10. Nursing license denied by California

  11. Nursing license denied by California

    RN_Canada replied to superveronica's topic in Nurse Registration

    well if the regulations that exist under legislation required public protection then they cannot do this. they can only determine if a person who applies for a license has met the standard to...

    RN_Canada replied to superveronica's topic in Nurse Registration

    you and i know this but apparently nurses from other countries don't. i will reiterate my original comment that this is not in the mandate of professional regulation for public protection so i...

  13. Nursing license denied by California

    RN_Canada replied to superveronica's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks for the response... I am simply going by my own lived experience here in Canada. The regulatory bodies do not exist to make money, they exist under legislation to ensure that nurses who provide...

  14. Nursing license denied by California

    RN_Canada replied to superveronica's topic in Nurse Registration

    what does the economy have to do with it? there should be no influence on the licensing of nurses other than making sure they meet requirements that are in place for public protection. labour forces...

  15. BC RN wanting to practice in AB

    RN_Canada replied to iheartcanucks2012's topic in Canada

    I am outraged at what you have described. If you have passed the CRNE and obtained a nursing license in BC this should be recognized in Alberta. If your husband is working there and has relocated I...

  19. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

    RN_Canada replied to Cinquefoil's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure why that should be considered a benefit. Hopefully you are not coming to work while you are under the influence anyway - no matter what country you work in. You see here in Canada we...

  20. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

    RN_Canada replied to Cinquefoil's topic in General Nursing

    No, charging premiums is not in defiance of the Canada Health Act. This tenet of the Canada Health Act does not say that health insurance is free. It says simply that the provincial insurance plan...

  21. IEN(RN) eligible to be registered as a LPN in Canada?

    RN_Canada replied to shelyksu's topic in International Nursing

    RN_Canada replied to AVKON's topic in Immigration Advice

  25. Bridging Program for Nurses (Canada)

    RN_Canada replied to Kaypee_RN's topic in International Nursing

    No that is not necessarily the case. You probably have more education than is needed for LPN but your best bet is to contact the provincial college for RN's or LPN's and get more specifics. But...
