Like I say to other users on this thread. Please try other nursing organizations in other provinces. I feel like sometimes you have to apply to one other province to take your chances. Your education...
If I may add something, I have heard of the system in Alberta and it sounds awesome. I am an RN in BC. We as a LPN and RN team take 10-11 patients total in our medical wing, and we only have 1 care...
I know it might be hard, but consider relocating. The CNO's IEN processing is notorious for being very unorganized, tardy and incoherent in their decisions (some IENS get their English exempted by...

They are actually displacing lpns to do this. The 1600 needed are all rns and out of that 1000 rns are needed in specialty units. There are lpns getting displaced and losing their lines soon at my...

I assume anywhere would be good if you had the job but also have the quality of life you want. Everything starts from the job though. I also got a job at a small city in BC away from Vancouver and the...
The HR does do the hiring, but the managers if you have connections or appeal to them strongly, can push the HR to process the application or to schedule interviews quickly. This tip I got from...

Long term care will gladly take you. THEY ARE NOT PICKY!!! My managers used to say new grad RN's don't want to come to LTC. They want someone to follow the rules, to be able to do the job well. If you...

Have you applied for Residential Care yet??? Do you want to start from somewhere you can earn a bit of experience? I don't know about Ontario, but in BC a lot of Residential Care areas and also Rehab...
Get a job at a Residential or Home Care, get experience however you can. Reconnect with your friends or connections at hospitals to get that extra boost. Connections are unfortunately very important...

Getting a job may not be hard but Immigration on the other hand will probably reject your application with the DUI. You need to get a lawyer and figure that out ASAP before applying for immigration,...

Try using google maps! As an IEN myself, I did this for BC, searching hospitals, care homes, nursing homes, etc in different names. Places would light red like the whole province is a Christmas tree....

You might want to ask your references if they got contacted by your interviewer/hospital. Mine did not respond to her her email so when I reminded her, she filled it out the next day and sent it

no offense but foreigner are not stealing your jobs. It is extremely rude to consider your non-white nursing coworkers or nurses as "foreign" when they hold a legal permanent resident status or...

Maybe you should have moved after you got a job offer. Lots of Vancouver graduates can't even find a full time job in their own area of residence.... I suggest you apply to wherever you can but the...

You'd need full time hours. I don't suggest doing part time because it might take over 2 years to get that number of hours, if you can, just work a lot of hours! You should research Express Entry's...

in Ontario actually, if you have a legal working permit, which all international students will get IF they graduate any program over 8 months of duration in post-secondary institution, you will be ok...

It is very hard. I am an Internationally Educated Nurse who studied in the US and went to Canada. Finding a job was not easy. If I could give you an advice, get a driver's license in your home country...
Hello Panamishe. I know you replied back in 2011 but if you are still around Allnurses, I can't PM anyone so I wanted to ask, How did you balance your pre-med prerequisite courses with your nursing...
Try applying to other provinces such as BC or Alberta. You can always transfer your license to Ottawa afterwards, and SEC may be harder or as similar to OSCE but refresher courses for BC and Alberta...
As an RN in BC, I have seen only one NP in person. I studied in the US and I have seen NP's all the time during my nursing program as they were my instructors, mentors and also the majority of people...
If you have any questions, the best thing would be is to contact NNAS directly I also studied in the States and was lucky not to take the SEC assessment (OSCE in Ontario) for foreign graduated nurses,...
