  1. NNAS experience?

    @joeythecat If you look at the nnas applicant handbook, you can see that you don't pay twice, you pay $650.00 for the main application order and an additional $220.00 for evaluation for a different...
  2. NNAS experience?

    @joeythecat Quite a few of the IENs who were educated in the Philippines or India apply to be assessed by nnas for both practical nurse and registered nurse. It is not a waste of money to be assessed...
  3. Is this normal?

    Did you ask the RN under whose authority is she diagnosing patients and prescribing
  4. Afraid to quit my job

    You may be going from the frying pan into the fire, leaving your current job for a management position. I have yet to see a manager who doesn't work longer hours than the hours they agreed to when...
  5. Fall with injury in ltc

    I hope the administrator allows you to keep your job and views the incident as an opportunity to create a non punitive culture of safety in the workplace. I know it feels awful when an error in...
  6. Fall with injury in ltc

    I agree with 4boysmomma, i don't think you are at risk of losing your license as it was a lapse in judgement. However, if you are terminated for cause, you may face a disciplinary hearing with the BON...
  7. Suggest you contact the coordinator for the academic pathway program and ask if the program will meet the CNO requirements listed in your letter of direction. Maybe read the letter to the coordinator...
  8. Fall with injury in ltc

    Agree with paws2people, learn from this experience, you need to show remorse for not prioritizing the patient's need to be changed and for leaving them soiled and unattended. Also you should not...
  9. @natisu see post #38 in this link
  10. Yes your best option is to come as a PR as the employers in the cities have more than enough applicants for jobs, they cannot justify hiring a nurse who requires a visa. There may be some employers...
  11. Yes other IENs have completed the program and yes the clinical is arranged by George Brown. Did you receive a letter of direction from CNO? If so, what type of education did they say you
  12. Seneca College RPN

    Have you looked at the College of Nurses of Ontario's (CNO) list of approved programs? Seneca is 'approved with conditions' the conditions will be reassessed in 2019, if at that time the CNO does not...
  13. There is an Australian poster 'rupirn' who moved from Australia to BC and their nnas report showed they had gaps in the child, pediatric and maternal newborn nursing competences, they were advised by...
  14. Black Sheep...time to leave?

    Do what is best for your career, if you are going to become a NNP, it makes more sense to stay put in the nicu where you enjoy the patient population and you are gaining valuable experience. If you...
  15. I think it's more common for IENs to be offered the chance to do a competency assessment and it is less common for IENs to be directed to go straight into a bridging program. I think the assessment...
  16. If you decide to immigrate to Canada do as many steps of the registration process as you can before moving. Most IENs face barriers to registration in Canada, they start by having their education...
  17. I believe Florida international university has an accelerated BSN program for foreign educate physicians, you can use the search tool in the top right hand corner of allnurses to find threads posted...
  18. Nursing Questions!

    Many other graduates of four year non-nursing degrees would love to start their careers with an hourly wage similar to nursing grads >$30.00/hr. Nursing education is worth the time and money...
  19. Canadian PN exam

    @fyongo, I don't know if you read the brochure 'What can I do differently next time? Preparing to re-write the cpnre'. If you haven't read it, you can find it on cpnre.ca. The brochure states the top...
  20. Nursing Student as PSW

    @lpn2be, the idea that you are loosely covered under the nurse's license is a common misconception, if you investigate this further you will find it's not true. If the nurse delegated the task...
  21. Nursing Student as PSW

    Unregulated workers who work in clients home are not under a nurse's supervision at all times, in the op's case she is under the close supervision of the client. I don't believe insurance companies...
  22. Nursing Student as PSW

    The Ontario self directed employers are required to have WSIB insurance, as well as comply with the occupational health and safety laws, labour laws etc. I am curious what types of liability is...
  23. Nursing Student as PSW

    Being bonded means there is insurance for theft, it isn't liability
  24. Nursing Student as PSW

    @lpntobe, your thinking is based on your experience with an agency, presumably you do not work in Ontario because lpn is in your user name. The op is in Ontario where some clients have direct funding...
  25. If your education was assessed by nnas and the CNO has given you a letter of direction advising you to do an IEN program, then list the name and location of the school, the type of program (4 year...
