    sdg13 replied to jaimepoutine's topic in Canada

    "PN to BSN in Ontario only takes 3 years" Is that for Canadians or can internationally educated students do that sort of program too? I'm also licensed as an LPN in New York, but Ontario will not...

    sdg13 replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in Canada

    Fiona, there are other ways to immigrate to Canada that are not career related. I immigrated because my common-law partner is Canadian. It had nothing to do with my job as a Licensed Practical...

  6. LPN to personal care assistant?

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in Canada

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in International Nursing

    Ok, they seem to have received everything and started the evaluation process on June 24th, but I still don't have an answer. How long does this process usually take? Should I be worried?

  11. College of Nurses Ontario

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in International Nursing

    That's what I've decided to do. My former workplace is going to send the job description to me in a sealed company envelope and I'm going to send it via registered mail to the CNO. Do you think...

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in Immigration Advice

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yeah, I know I won't be able to work as an RN without a BSN, but I was wondering about working as an RPN. I'm not sure what sort of visa I'll be applying for. I'm still exploring the options. I...

  18. Tips for learning vag exams

    sdg13 replied to 88nurse2010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the PP. It's a lot less 'yuck' to check my own cervix than to check that of a stranger! I've had to do much more 'yuck' things than that in my career! lol
