  1. California Board Approval Question

    YassKween replied to canadawali's topic in California Nursing

    I would also contact your university where you trained and ask for a copy of the form they filled out. It's possible someone inexperienced may have written the numbers wrong. They are pretty strict...

  2. Canadian New Grad to USA?

    YassKween replied to CDNtoUSA's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know how you do it in Florida but in order to do the live scan in California (where I am licensed and working), you need to be in the state in order to do the live scan. I am guessing it is...

  3. california license by endorsement

    YassKween replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California Nursing

    Just thought I’d share my successful licensing journey with the CA BRN to help other nurses out there in the same situation. A little background about me, I am foreign born and did my nursing...

  5. Dear Alberta nurses...

    YassKween replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada

    I've gotten a few positions at AHS through referrals/networking. I agree that it is online applications only but if the manager likes you then he/she will ask you to apply to the posting online. I...

  6. Dear Alberta nurses...

    YassKween replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada

    I agree with everyone above. And I hate to say this but sometimes but it helps to have connections with someone who works for AHS and can refer you to a hiring manager etc. Do you have any...

  8. Canadian New Grad to USA?

    YassKween replied to CDNtoUSA's topic in International Nursing

    CGFNS or visa screen certificate is required to obtain your TN visa at the border/point of entry. There's no way around this now

  9. Canadian New Grad to USA?

    YassKween replied to CDNtoUSA's topic in International Nursing

    It takes another 8 weeks or so from that date forward for them to say your account is up for review. Once the status changes to up "for review", it takes another week or two and it should say whether...

  10. Canadian RN moving to US

    YassKween replied to ryan03's topic in International Nursing

    Ryan, You're in Canada, why not get all your schooling done in Canada first before making another move to another foreign country. I am a Canadian nurse who went to nursing school here and it took 6...

  11. NCLEX RN Advice

    YassKween replied to merzielynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took NCLEX-RN yesterday and found out today via MN BON that I passed. I didn't have to go through quick results or the so called PVT. Maybe it's just MN that post their results so quickly. I read...

  12. Jobs in AB?

    YassKween replied to MissElizabeth's topic in Canada

    My advice is what worked for me and I was actually hired and interviewed the same day when I walked up to the unit manager. This was also the time of Stephen Duckett where he was laying off nurses. I...

  13. Jobs in AB?

    YassKween replied to MissElizabeth's topic in Canada

    I know they frown upon this now but I would go to the actual unit and ask to speak to the unit manager and leave your resume. Best time to catch the manager is early in the morning before 0800 or...

  14. Obtaining an RN job in a city in Canada directly after graduation

    YassKween replied to jgibeault's topic in Canada

    I would still try it for myself and apply. You might be stuck with a casual position but there are some units out there where you can pretty much work close to a full time. The hardest part is getting...

    YassKween replied to canadiangirlUSRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Hi RNgrad2006, Did you have to get your employer to sponsor you to get the green card? How many times did you have to renew your TN visa or how long did you have to wait to obtain

    YassKween replied to stephaniern12's topic in Travel

    Hi Yassi and others who were having problems with their clinical hours. I am wondering what was the outcome of your application for licensure in California? I was looking at the requirements for...

  19. Canadians Traveling in The U.S.

    YassKween replied to jenn8500's topic in Travel

    To answer Sam's question, Canadians are not covered for health insurance as soon as they leave Canada. They must obtain their own private insurance in the country they are in. They would only be...

  20. Canadians Traveling in The U.S.

    YassKween replied to jenn8500's topic in Travel

    Hi Jenn, which travel agency did you go with? How long did the process take for you in total (including taking the NCLEX and all the other paper work)? I have 4 years experience working on the floor...

  21. Charge nurse training

    YassKween replied to YassKween's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Joanna. I completely agree with everything you said. It's not an easy job. I will definitely be working on those skills as soon as possible. Knowing me, I tend to be a push over and I try to...

    YassKween posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi Guys, So I've been an RN for just over a year now and have been working on this medical unit for over a year now too. I have seniority of this co-worker of mine who graduated a semester behind me....

  23. Charge nurse training

    YassKween replied to YassKween's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the feedback you guys. I guess I worded myself wrong with what I originally said. I meant to say is that it made me wonder if my manager thought I am not ready for the job yet. Like if I am...

    YassKween replied to man78's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

  25. Alberta Health Services

    YassKween replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    I liked what our new health minister had to say to "Dr. Duckett". http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100120/edm_beds_100120/20100120/?hub=EdmontonHome I really hope he gets replaced...
