  1. US RN Travel nurse in Canada?

    dayandnight replied to mfoster0's topic in Canada

    Unless you have a Canadian license and a visa to work it is difficult to immigrate as a foreign educated nurse. The only other issue is that it is even more difficult than the US, and almost...

  2. AHS undergrad nurses employment

    dayandnight replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada

    This applies to all the places I've seen in Canada. They do post the posting but they only select a few. It is mandatory to post them as per union agreements like MPKH said but often times with the...

  3. Surgical Nursing in British Columbia

    dayandnight replied to techraider77's topic in Canada

    The market is very good for OR or PACU for BC in general (high in demand)but immigration and the RN license is a huge barrier for foreign educated nurses. HealthMatch BC is a government funded...

  4. Frustrating CNO process for IENs

    dayandnight replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

    The hospital prefer you to have the experience at their place or other Canadian hospitals probably. Canada is very "Canada-centered." Canadian experience and references are preferred. Plus you will...

  5. Frustrating CNO process for IENs

    dayandnight replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

    To be a nurse educator you need experience in the unit you want to work in and build connections and experience first before applying. I don't think having a master's is a requirement and if they do...

  6. SRNA Assessment for SEC

    dayandnight replied to vasavi's topic in Nurse Registration

    I guess it really depends if Manitoba assessment exam is a recognized exam in SK.. If the province wants more money and due o other assessment reasons they will probably ask the poster to do their...

  7. SRNA Assessment for SEC

    dayandnight replied to vasavi's topic in Nurse Registration

    I have a few acquantainces who are going through NNAS in Saskachewan. Their SEC is a full 5 days exam not 3 days one like they have in Alberta and used to have in BC. It costs 3000 dollars to take the...

    dayandnight replied to carolinameza's topic in Immigration Advice

    Here are stories from me and my friends who took the BSN program in USA 1. One of my friend from my school could not find a sponsor during OPT. Went into Mavni /military to get a citizenship status 2....

  9. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    dayandnight replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    In BC as far as I am concerned the areas considered specialties are PACU, ICU, ER, and OR. Through our Union we do not get paid extra for having tele/cardiac training and only those 4 specialty do. I...

  10. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    dayandnight replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    It really depends on where you go. Some places in BC aside from the Lower Mainland have computer charting, and Abbotsford, which 1.5 hr from Vancouver, just implemented the first hospital wide...

  11. How did you find a job in Vancouver?

    dayandnight replied to smr21's topic in Canada

    Well you can never assume lol I was very tempted to take the sec again since it is required by Kwantlan (and sec does include osce portion ..maybe not 100% same but similar exam format.) I felt...

  12. Advice needed!! How effective are nurse aid programs in canada. Can you easily get a job?

    dayandnight replied to nursetobe26's topic in Canada

    It is worth the money to go into the LPN or RN program because it's hard to immigrate as a caregiver. Caregiver is not a nurse and not considered skilled jobs, which means you will not be considered...

  13. How did you find a job in Vancouver?

    dayandnight replied to smr21's topic in Canada

    Dishes in my case it was the health authority I applied to who told me they recommend that I take a sec and refresher course since I had a gap in working in acute care (I only worked in residential...

  14. How did you find a job in Vancouver?

    dayandnight replied to smr21's topic in Canada

    Yes that is what I mean. If you already have a license but still want to take the course (and I had this as a backup option since I was struggling to get jobs in acute care so I looked into it) you...

  15. How did you find a job in Vancouver?

    dayandnight replied to smr21's topic in Canada

    Do you have a Canadian license??? If you do what is your status? Did you get exempt from SEC before obtaining your license? Because if you take the IEN refresher course you become very hirable (not to...

    You can get a job with your OPT but it is hard to get sponsorship for H1B visa, just so you

  17. Advice needed!! How effective are nurse aid programs in canada. Can you easily get a job?

    dayandnight replied to nursetobe26's topic in Canada

    It depends on your status in Canada. If you don't have a Permanent Resident/citizenship status, the huge disadvantage to the care aid class is that you get only 1 year working visa. It's hard to...

  18. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    dayandnight replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    I also practiced in USA and studied my nursing there. The biggest difference I found was how there are not as many care aids (cna) in acute care. Standard ratio is 20-40 pts to one care aid. Now I...

  19. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    dayandnight replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    In BC hospital setting full time is 4 shifts on and 4 shifts off. And that is rotating shifts so depending on your line it's 3 days 1 night then 4 days off or 2 days 2 nights then 4 days off. Also,...

  20. MD degree and lost my LPN license in BC

    dayandnight replied to jyhhsieh's topic in Canada

    This is just my two cents but 1. Even if you did get your lpn license back, you will not be able to keep up with working and maintaining hours when you are a doctor, so is the license worth it? You...

  22. Advice needed! LPN or RN?

    dayandnight replied to Frost87's topic in Canada

    don't know about other provinces but in BC the LPN to RN bridging program have long waitlists and are very competitive. Try applying to both RN and LPN and see where it leads... A lot of my friends...

    dayandnight replied to JWys's topic in Canada

    I am an RN but had the same situation. They wanted me to do a refresher course but I refused... so I just went into rehab/transition unit instead first and got my foot in the door. Then I slowly...
