Hi all: On behalf of my fellow IEN's, would someone who has gone through the process of immigrating to the different provinces in Canada, please share with us your experiences and the things we can do before actually getting there. I know this much...

I am just seeing this...sorry. yes they can and no certification required, u are actually overqualified.

Hi ArtisticAthelete: I will try to phrase what I have to say with the hope that it will not come across as offensive. So here goes! I have just scanned through most of your posts and it seems to me that your interest in this profession (health) is fo...

This sums it up! And yes, that is in the first hour or so while expecting an admit!

Thanks Janfrn. I have googled and googled all possible search and couldn't come up with anything that would answer my question. This helped a lot!

Hi Sandraann: Check out crne feb 2009 as well as read previous posts on this blog regarding some of your questions. Janfrn, Silverdragon, anyone???!! How long after being here can I apply for PR? Can I begin the process right away or is there a speci...

Recap: Ok, so I did the exam Feb 4, had job interview Feb 13th, went back home to Jamaica, did interview for work permit (can't remember date, some time in April), got approved, arrived on the 24th of June, got work permit. 25th faxed a copy to CNO, ...

I arrived in Canada on June 24, 2009 at ~7:45p. The immigration officer was really pleasant. She asked what was the purpose of my visit and took the paperwork and processed it. The work permit does have restrictions (as expected). 1. Unless authori...

I would agree that Kaplan is a good school, thing is they are expensive (I believe). I called them yesterday to check out the same. This is what I was told: $350/crdt-63 credits for the MSN; Total $22K+. Walden on the other hand is $435/crdt, approx....

So I called CNO just now. Same fees as you mentioned Janfrn for both initial registration and renewal. Get this, while mine isn't half as bad as your scenario, the deadline for renewal is Dec. 31, 2009. So, if I get registered by the end of July or b...

Janfrn: I guess that's why they say some people are trail blazers.... at a cost!!!! Appreciate you and others on the forum for having shared your experiences as well as advice. Thanks again.

you're welcome.

Thanks Janfrn.

:angryfire:angryfireSo, remind me why I chose Ontario again? Not a huge difference, but a difference indeed. You know its all about not knowing what you should know, you know? As soon as I land in Canada, I will be mailing off all the rest of the ne...

I was told the same thing, 12 weeks. Just know different factors determine the process. I am not sure why mine took a month and half, it is strange that you haven't yet been assessed. Outside of what I have shared I haven't done anything differently....

Gulp at registration fee...on that first thing in the morrow.

Yes, I used the Prep Guide as the main study tool. I used the book as opposed to the cd since it is a written exam. Unlike NCLEX where I used the cd. Medicine is standard whereever you go, so yes the lab and hemodynamic values are based off an intern...

Hi mzee: I am going to be as detailed as possible because I remember how clueless I felt, not knowing the right questions to ask.... Process: There isn't anything you can do to get your application processed by the provincial board of choice ASAP. Th...

Its almost 2 months since my experience at a major hospital in Jamaica, this, however takes the cake! (To read my personal experience, please see post titled "Nightmare at a major hospital in Jamaica".-International The article below sheds public li...

Its not all black and white. We obviously can only speak to the cards given to us, so it is with my trying to explain from my experiences and not sharing the whole story. The article is sensitive, as it should be, to the poor conditions of the hospit...

The quote about nursing the baby had to do with what to do if there were no technology assisted apparatus; use basic nursing skills: what to do when there is no pitocin? let the mother nurse the baby. I agree with the forum about most things. My poin...

The question is, where do we begin? Jamaica is a third world country, there is a lot of political influence in every institution, I would move to agree with you about them pocketing the monies... Let me also say, I am not trying to kick this nurse w...

Hi Oramar: I am the first to understand and support any nurse who has had a momentary lapse in judgement. We are nurses, but we are first human, I know. The thing is THIS hospital has a history. Several cases of misdiagnoses, pronounciation of death...
