  1. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Actually, that's not the type of question I was missing. I was using the prep guide at the library while I wait for mine to come in - I'll look it up and post the question. In reference to...

  2. Manitoba Nurses

    TazJ replied to lilylily's topic in Canada

    To everyone who was asking whether Filipino nurses have to take the CCA: The CRNM is making almost everyone take the CCA unless you have very exceptional circumstances (the example the CRNM gave me...

  3. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Is anyone having a problem understanding the rationales in the CRNE prep guide? I took 100 questions yesterday just for practice & finished in about an hour (I was hungry!). When I checked my...

  4. Internationally educated RN( CCA)

    TazJ replied to noor2010's topic in International Nursing

    Hey Noor, I'm desi too - born in UK but finished nursing school in the US. I think Fundamentals of Nursing (Potter & Perry) is a good idea. I think this is what they are looking for in the...

  5. Internationally educated RN( CCA)

    TazJ replied to noor2010's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Noor, There are several threads about the CCA on this site. It's also known as the SEC. 1) the FAQ section about the SEC in the International forum (tagged as a sticky note) 2) I put up a post...

  6. Any nurses within Toronto (GTA) area studying for the NCLEX?

    TazJ replied to Giveheart's topic in International Nursing

    I'm in the opposite situation - from the US and working towards my license in Canada. I took the NCLEX in October and passed on the first attempt with 75 questions. I didn't take a Kaplan class but I...

  7. Where to book a formal review NCLEx course

    TazJ replied to clau12's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Clau, I assume they want you to take the formal review course since it's been quite a while since you've graduated. I've heard good things about Kaplan - I believe they have several options in...

  8. UCF Accelerated BSN 2011-2012

    TazJ replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say Congratulations to all of you that have gotten in & Good Luck to all of you! I graduated from UCF's accelerated program last summer and it was definitely a great...

  9. Any advice for SEC/CCA? Have you used nurses2canada.net?

    TazJ replied to TazJ's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Loriangel14! Someone just asked me whether I took the CCA yet and how it was. I'm taking it in about a week and half so I'll definitely put up a post to let future CCA takers know what I...

  10. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    No I know you don't mean to scare me, and you raise some valid points. I think there's a false sense of security when I first looked at CRNE questions because they didn't look too hard compared to...

  11. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Akardan, Thanks for the reply. I didn't mean to say it IS superficial or easy, I meant to say it LOOKS easy from a superficial perspective (as in from a distant glance). I am definitely taking the...

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Thanks for the advice

  13. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    @janfrn: My apologies for mentioning IENs and the SEC/CCA. The only reason I asked on here was because several people in earlier posts specifically stated they were IENs who are currently studying...

  14. Support group for CRNE June 2011

    TazJ replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Thanks for having this thread! I'm an IEN from the US and will be taking the CRNE in October hopefully once I pass the SEC/CCA this month! It really helps to see what materials you all are using and...

  15. Any advice for SEC/CCA? Have you used nurses2canada.net?

    TazJ replied to TazJ's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, you're probably right. I'm using the NCLEX book because it's a review book so it'll be faster than reading all my textbooks. I'm assuming the medical knowledge & nursing interventions would...

  16. How can a foreign nurse apply, register and work as a nurse in Canada?

    TazJ replied to ezela's topic in International Nursing

    Ezela, Start by looking at the requirements for RNs in the province you're looking to work in. The first step will be to submit all the paperwork required: nursing transcripts, background checks,...

  17. SEC/CCA: US educated Nurses in Canada (Manitoba)?

    TazJ replied to TazJ's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Fiona, From what I was told by the CRNM, it seems to be relatively new. They're trying to make almost all US educated nurses take it unless they have exceptional background experience (they...

  18. SEC/CCA: US educated Nurses in Canada (Manitoba)?

    TazJ replied to TazJ's topic in International Nursing

    Yes I completely understand that Canada wants to test my competency. I'm really not trying to be arrogant and claim the US is better than Canada. It is just frustrating that I was initially told by an...

  19. SEC/CCA: US educated Nurses in Canada (Manitoba)?

    TazJ replied to TazJ's topic in International Nursing

    @SilverDragon: I know it's not just the US, I'm just saying it's strange how nursing boards don't seem to have a preference for nurses educated in western countries. Like the UK distinguishes between...
