  1. Hi: I need some advice regarding which area in Ontario to relocate after my divorce (it's still not decided but highly probable, so I need a plan asap). I'm an internationally educated nurse registered in Ontario for more than a year. I live and work...
  2. bridging course for international nurses in canada

    Hi golu, CNO does use WES credential assessment service, that's why CNO is cited among the organizations that use WES reports. (Third party credential assessment). However, you don't need to send your documents to WES. Once CNO receives all your tr...
  3. Earthquake!

    Hi, I live not far from Cumberland and was sleeping after a night shift when the quake happened. Since I usually sleep with my dog, I'm sure that he moved around and that woke me up. Gee, the bed was moving and everything was like shaking. I had time...
  4. Sharing Personal Information at Work

    I like having my "30 seconds commercial" with the info I'm willing to share. " I'm married and have a wonderful dog " Having a dog is a great starting point to start turning the conversation around or just deflecting it back to the questioner. I've...
  5. IEN seeking advice for additional literature to pass CRNE

    If you're looking for "the better choice as far as psychosocial or community health nursing was concerned", Lippincott would be the way to go. Be aware that it's not a "review book" but a "questions and rationales" book.
  6. hi, i'm looking at algonquin too but for the critical care or emergency programs. i don't know if they'll actually accept me because i don't have two years acute hospital experience. i wonder, as an ien how will i get the experience if every time i b...
  7. When do you guys buy uniform or shoes?

    I bought two sets of scrubs from uniform.ca two months ago, and I'm very pleased with my purchase: those scrubs have got me lots of compliments:cool: The tops are nice, but I'm even more happy with the design of the pants, very, very flattering and...
  8. TAX season

    If we could actually claim exam fees in Ontario, which documents would be used to prove that we did pay those fees??? I haven't receive any receipts from CNO re: CRNE fees:confused: OMG, I got no tax credits at all these season
  9. CRNE prep guide

    Hi, I agree that the CNA guide is the closest thing to the exam, but it could be not enough. Lippincott has quite a few good questions and the rationales are well written. Besides, the content is truly Canadian. That being said, I also used the Saun...
  10. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    Hi yahy: I'll keep you in my prayers, and I'm sure many other nurses here will pray for you as well. I admire you for keeping a positive mental frame. It all starts with a dream: you have it, now you need to build it in your mind, or as another memb...
  11. CRNE February 2010

    Personally, no. But even before I was given eligibility to write the exam, I've been following the CRNE threads. If you have a look at previous threads, you'll see that someone who unfortunately failed posted the passing score for that particular ...
  12. CRNE February 2010

    Most likely, in order to know the passing score you guys will need to wait for someone who failed (or knows someone who failed) to kindly post the score. Hopefully everybody who deserves to be a nurse will pass though.
  13. CRNE February 2010

    Hi, I took the exam in October, and the people in Ontario were the last ones to get their results: a little more than two weeks passed between the first passer in BC and the first news from the Ontario writers. I have never heard/read of anyone in On...
  14. CRNE February 2010

    Sorry to hear about your friends. It's a nice gesture from the college...somehow
  15. anyone registering for SRNA or in Saskatchewan?

    I guess that the more IENs apply to those provinces still not requiring a BSN, the longer the waiting time will be. Colleges need a lot of resources (assessors and so on) to evaluate the applications, that's a lot of $$$. I guess they're not really ...
