I am just wondering since I am browsing job opportunities for both RNs and RPNs. It always say on job postings that there should be x number of years in nursing to qualify for a job. I am thinking how could a newly graduate nurse or IEN (Internationa...

It really depends on how the College will assess you and as people usually tell you in the forum, its a case to case basis. CNO did not grant me my eligibility to sit for the CRNE, thats why I filled up the BET and provided them with necessary docume...

No. I only see one name which is my assessor's. It is also a relief in my part knowing the name and contact details of her. I emailed her a couple of times re: my status and she left me a message on my phone with regards to supplying more documents t...

I have read the compedium during my Nursing in Ontario course and I really can say that it gives me a whole new perspective of what nursing in Ontario is. It is like the "holy book" for all nurses here. You should know the standards of practice by he...
Hi! Here in Toronto review courses usually starts early like February or March. Where are you located though? Completing practice exams are a a really good practice.
Hi just to add, it really comes down whether you meet all the requirements set by the CNO (since you said you are coming here in Ontario) such as educational requirements, status in canada, safe years of practice, language fluency etc.before you can ...

To Jay: I got the reply after 3 months. And yes I filled up another form for RPN and paid the fee as well. I am not really sure about the documents since its been a while since I submitted mine, but I guess they will use the same documents that they ...

Hi jay.. I did reply to your email but here is the answer to your inquiry. After receiving the reply from CNO that I am not BScN equivalent with the BET forms, I submit another application to be RPN eligible. The reason I did that is because I want ...
Thank you guys for all the inputs that you wrote. I am doing the simulation of the exam maybe a month before the big day. Just to see if I can do 200 questions in one sitting. I remember when I took my licensure exam from back home (IEN nurse here), ...

I am currently employed as a nurse in a Laser Clinic in Ontario. I am just wondering what is the chance of career advancement in this field of nursing.

^ditto. It is very hard to answer your question if the CNO will grant your eligibility to take the CRNE since it is a case to case basis. But in my experience, I was not eligible to take the CRNE last 2008 when I submitted my credentials to CNO. But ...
I found the job through a friend who referred me. What will I suggest to you is just land in Nova Scotia since your relatives are based there. It will be hard to start in Ontario if you dont know anybody that could help you to settle down. Or try to...
Hello. Based on my experience, the closest health related job I got was a health care aide in an agency. I rarely had any shifts there.. I guess, twice a month. So, what I did is tried a job not related to nursing such as a food server. I was still e...
