  1. Would you go to nursing school twice

    petgroomer replied to petgroomer's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the advise, I'm thinking over and probably will go the certification route or try some additional courses before enrolling in a Masters. I'm actually looking into something in French (I...

  2. Would you go to nursing school twice

    petgroomer posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I need some help deciding what to do. I'm an IEN with a BSN; I applied to CNO and was deemed exam eligible:redbeathe. However, I'd love to go to Nursing school again. I truly value the education...

  3. Health Care Aide or Practical Nurse

    petgroomer replied to Mookerr87's topic in International Nursing

    IMO, go for the RPN and then if you feel like it bridge to RN. Don't go the HCA way unless you have no other alternative. It may seem like a pain now, but it will be truly worth it. RPNs have more...

    Erisirene, why don't you try contacting people from your country regarding how the college(s) performed the assessment, even if it's done in a case by case basis some similarities occur with people...

    If you have a look around here, you'll see that PSW courses in Canada last somewhere between 6 months and one year. It will be difficult for an employer to prove that there are no citizens and...

  6. Canadian licensing system overwhelmed by foreign nurse applicants

    petgroomer replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in International Nursing

    I truly don't get it, does the government actually pays $$$ to bring nurses to Canada??? and then left them stranded??? What I've seen is that bridging from RPN to RN in Ontario is a pain, I know...

    petgroomer replied to chengzz_1110's topic in International Nursing

    The problem in Ontario is getting HCA or PSW jobs with government regulated agencies or nursing homes. I have a friend who after more than a year of casual work got a nursing home position: about $20...

  8. How the new regulations on mobility across Canada affect IEN.

    petgroomer posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I've tried browsing the forum and the colleges of nursing websites, but I'm still unclear about this: -If an IEN establishes full registration in one province, let's say Ontario and practices...

  9. How the new regulations on mobility across Canada affect IEN.

    petgroomer replied to petgroomer's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks. I think it`s a very good idea. If a person has meet the standards in one province and has practiced safely in Canada, why to duplicate time consuming

  10. Ontario

    petgroomer replied to Sweet Jelly's topic in International Nursing

    You're right Janfrn, the UCP job is mostly for someone who's already in Canada but still not regulated. But again, if this is not the situation of the poster I apologize for the

  11. How the new regulations on mobility across Canada affect IEN.

    petgroomer replied to petgroomer's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Silver, I've forgotten the NS College website. I wonder why no one comes with the idea of giving a "hard license" like that of NY state in Canada; it may save a few trees by not doing the same...

  12. Ontario

    petgroomer replied to Sweet Jelly's topic in International Nursing

    Hi: Ontario requires that IENs education be equivalent to that of a BSN program in Ontario, work experience may help you get the education requirement if your program falls short. After you're...

  13. Algonquin College Anyone

    petgroomer replied to dreameral's topic in International Nursing

    I think it's still open because the University of Ottawa BSN is still accepting applications (?), it's a collaborative program and the application is through OUAC, not the college board. BTW, I've...

  14. Canadian licensing system overwhelmed by foreign nurse applicants

    petgroomer replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in International Nursing

    I hope the resignations have not caused a lot of problems for the people who stayed, "forced overtime", "double shifts" and "last minute calls" are a pain, especially if after all of that you don't...

  15. Grad Initiative wages

    petgroomer replied to EdmontonAB's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I'm planning on writing the CRNE in October (I'm an IEN living in Ontario and already assessed by CNO). I wonder if the initiative applies only to new grads, is there any similar program for newly...

  16. Canadian licensing system overwhelmed by foreign nurse applicants

    petgroomer replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in International Nursing

    Well, I think that it may take longer when the nurses are required to undergo additional education, like bridging programs

    petgroomer replied to chengzz_1110's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, there're usually openings for PSWs, HCAs etc; however, the pay is not very good (you're lucky if you get more than 12 an hour), most places are private with no benefits at all and very few perks....
