You've only had telephone conversations that you initiated? You haven't been offered an interview? You are putting all your eggs in one basket hoping that you will be accepted into the employer's new grad program. If you are not offered a position in...

Have you looked on the Ontario government website? The legal requirements for home care agencies, labour laws, WSIB, occupational health and safety laws, keeping patient's health records, etc should be listed. Also, look on government of Canada's web...

Resumes submitted before an applicant has their registration are not eligible for interviews in most work places. It's a surplus market and there are more qualified, licensed applicants applying than there are jobs. If you do not have more on your r...

If you don't want to go through the licensing process, but yet still want to meet US and other international nurses, suggest you consider joining an international professional association in the specialty area that you work in. If you attend the prof...

I don't know, it seems you are at a point in your life where you do not have dependents and are basically free to move and try a different life experience. It might be worth investing a bit of time and money in becoming licensed and see what happens ...

It might be difficult to get a sponsor based visa at this point in time because there is not a national shortage of nurses in the US, there are some areas where there are shortages and some where there are surpluses. There hasn't been a national shor...

Suggest you check with a lawyer who is familiar with TN visa requirements before you invest time and money into your plans. Your motives are likely to be questioned by border authorities and it may be a problem if you come across as a self motivated...

@companisbiki which government authority is or was granting licenses to health care aids/ personal support workers? These positions do not have legislation that requires them to be licensed and they are not regulated by nursing regulatory bodies.

I believe nnas will give the advisory reports for both RN & PN at the same time. It is quite possible that your education will be somewhat comparable or not comparable to Canadian RN entry to practice competencies, but may be comparable to Canadi...

Your doctor wrote a note for you to be on modified duties and you have been assigned administrative work, the employer placed you on administrative duties pending investigation of a patient complaint, but in this case being assigned administrative wo...

If you move to Ontario, you might find an employer willing to hire you as a health care aid/ personal support worker, but there is a lot of competition for most health care jobs and you might be bypassed for someone who has completed a PSW program an...

I believe you need to activate an account in order to do the jurisprudence exam. Once you complete the jurisprudence exam ask the CNO what the next steps are. CNO directs applicants to do the jurisprudence exam early on in the application process, an...

Yes, you can write the exam Dec 31st, it's an online exam and you can write it anytime you feel like writing it, see FAQs: Jurisprudence Examination If you want more exam tips in addition the ones on CNO's website, suggest you watch the youtube vide...

The starting point is listening to the staff nurses in your workplace, find out from them how they define burnout and if their perception is that there is a high level of burnout in the workplace, if so what do they believe is the root cause for the...

If CNO's letter does not contain any other information regarding your next steps, you should contact them for clarification. In the meantime go ahead and do the jurisprudence exam. Being eligible to write the jurisprudence exam and passing the exam d...

This is an advertisement pretending to be an article, I hope the OP is paying AN.

You might be able to find other healthcare professionals to network with by joining the Canadian consortium for the investigation of cannabinoids and accessing their forum, you can join as an associate member. There are interesting education videos,...

@phynie, if you have proof of recent practice in the past three years (from working in the US) I don't understand why you find the CNO's requirements for reinstatement from non-practising class to general class a barrier. Are you annoyed that it's ti...

@joeythecat, after your wife has been approved by citizenship and immigration to migrate to Canada she can apply to pre-arrival supports and services for iens (pass4nurses.org), it's free and she may find the tips helpful.

You need advice from a lawyer. Are you in a unionized position? If so, have you contacted your union to ask about legal representation?

silverstag, I don't know if you are aware but care4nurses.org is an organization that provides advice and resources to iens, suggest you check their website for the types of services they offer (some may be helpful to you) also check if they are hold...

I don't have any study materials, just to let you know most locally educated practical nurses use the CPNRE prep guide, as well as the online predictor tests you can find information about these study materials on assessment strategies inc cpnre.ca. ...

There are IENs who work as health care aids in Ontario, they did not take a PSW program prior to being hired, their employers recognized that a nursing education surpasses a PSW education and there is no need to waste time and money on a PSW educatio...

Your wife should not listen to anything a private college has to say about PSW programs, or bridging programs for RPNs. The education pograms through Ontario private colleges are not recognized by the College of Nurses of Ontario (look at cno.org lis...

@natisu, some employers may be willing to hire you as a health care aid, beware that the cost of living is usually too high to live off a care giver wage. It will be difficult to pay for rent, food, bills, transportation, etc on a minimum wage (or sl...
