Hi All, I am currently awaiting eligibility with the CRNBC, however my husband is a ODP (operation department practitioner). We are currently in the uk. He is not a RN so we were wondering if he could work in canada. I am not sure what the equivelent...

Thanks, the hard work starts now, please let me know if you hear anything x

yeah i took it in may. I am applying in nova scotia, i will just keep applying.

I passed, now to find a job which is the hardest part when you're an ien, fingers crossed.

I am a uk diploma nurse that qualified in 2001, i have worked continuously since then. Please could anyone help in telling me if i can apply as an LPN in Nova Scotia, the website isnt clear. Just wondered if i needed a degree before being eligable. T...

Thanks, still would love your advice silverdragon about my whole situation as i describe in my pm to you, i appreciate that you work.

Thanks i appreciate it. I just hope i win my appeal and i get to do the re-entry online. Once i complete the course (if i did it in canada), would i have to return to england or would i be able to get a working visa. Sorry i only know about immigrati...

Hi Fiona So if me and my family came over and i did the re-entry program would my husband be eligable for a working visa so that he can support us while studying? He is a care worker in mental health. Thank you for your reply vicky

Sorry, wrote this in a rush.

I applied to the CRNNS omly tp be told i needed to do the SEC assessment which i did in BC in November. They have since told me i need to do the re-entry program which i am currently appealing to do online as i cant leave my job and family to study i...

I just thought i would let people my current situation and hopefully get some advice. I am a UK nurse with 10 years experience. I have just done the SEC assessment in BC and they have told me i need to do the re-entry program. I am now appealing the ...

Hi, Thanks for that. The job that he does is registered with the Health professionals council and regulated by the college of operating department practitioners. He did a 2yr diploma course. I am really struggling to find out if this job is transfera...

Hi, No he isnt a nurse. He works in the operating room and assists with passing instruments etc. I maybe wrong but i believe a 'surgical tech' may be similar in canada. Any ideas?

Sorry, should say that's all, bloomin predictive text!

Hello, Please could anyone tell me if you need to be a canadian citizen to work outside the hospitals? I am a RN in from the uk and am looking into employment outside of the hospital setting such as long term care facilities but i am strugglng to fi...

Thank you both for that. Are any of you aware of there are more jobs for iens outside the hospitals? Im still a long way off getting there as booked to do sec assessment in October, just wondering that's alkaline, thanks.

Thanks for that, i understand a little better now although it seems a lot of bother for the employer to get an LMO, dont they tend to wait until a canadian can fill the post? I am presuming that these areas are less desirable though and wonder if the...

Thanks for that, excuse my not knowing but could you please explain these a little more.

Thanks for all your comments, we are sure about the move to canada and BC is most desirable to us. I am willing to work anywhere but would prefer more rural, are the prospects better rurally? Was also was wondering about the options with LTC/Nursing ...

Does anyone know which province if any are hiring IEN's. I have applied to BC and have been told that i need to do the SEC assessment but it seems that the job market there is quite bleak. I have 10 years experience on an acute surgical ward. Thanks ...

Hi, I feel in a bit of a dilema. I have been asked to do the SEC assessment in BC, and while i have no problem doing this and am willing to travel etc, i would just like to know if its worth it as time after time im hearing that the jobs are scarce i...

Thanks for yor comments and it does seem that bc is very bleak at the minute. Does anyone know of any other province that are in need of IEN's in med/surg?

Thanks, are you currently in NS? We have certainly considered Nova Scotia and sorry for my ignorance but doesnt it rain there a lot? Really i would like anyones opinion on whether to do the SEC yet with the current job situation in BC or as i said go...

Thanks for that but i was under the impression that the whole of canada was pretty much in the same condition, do you know of any provinces that want IENs, would even work outside the health authority ie nursing homes, prisons etc

Hi all, Just looking for some advice. My dream is to move to and work in british columbia, Ive heard so much about job cuts etc there but i am determined to get there. Have applied for elegibility. I currently work on an emergency surgical ward and h...
