  1. SEC assessment in BC

    dayandnight replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    If your education meets their standard (graduated from a USA BSN program, preferably 4 year program straight on) and you have graduated quite recently then you will get exempted from taking the SEC...

  2. Recent AA graduate from US wanting to move to Canada

    dayandnight replied to azizjaan's topic in Canada

    Ok after reading your comment I tried to edit my comment but it can't be edited anymore. Sorry about the confusion in my comment. Should not have mentioned about Ontario PN's scope if I am not 100%...

  3. Recent AA graduate from US wanting to move to Canada

    dayandnight replied to azizjaan's topic in Canada

    It is cold here, even if you move to areas like BC which has a milder climate. I do enjoy working here but initially, it was quite a culture shock and took me years to get used to the Canadian nursing...

  4. Recent AA graduate from US wanting to move to Canada

    dayandnight replied to azizjaan's topic in Canada

    Yes I did mention I was in BC. It's just that a lot of people when they do immigrate to Canada, go to either Ontario or BC where LPN scope is I guess more limited than other provinces. Not many people...

  6. Catching something from patients?

    dayandnight replied to Peteypab's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only time I caught something from a patient was when I worked in long term care settings and the elderly have a depressed cough and you might not know if they have pneumonia in their early stages....

  7. LPN interested in immigrating to Ontario

    dayandnight replied to KellyDAguilar's topic in International Nursing

    1) Licensing and immigration are separate issues. Getting a Canadian license won't do you any good if you don't have the legal status to work in Canada. LPN are not in the NAFTA jobs so getting a...

    dayandnight replied to omar1983's topic in International Nursing

  10. nurse call response times in Ontario hospitals

    dayandnight replied to fizzydrinks's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I also work in Canada and I am sorry about what you are going through. 30 minute wait is a bit too much I think.. In BC we work very understaffed as well (I have 5 patients with barely any care...

  11. Nursing student in US, but want to work in Canada

    dayandnight replied to ksics's topic in Canada

    the only issue is that Canadian RN programs are 4 years, not 2. Unless you already have a Bachelor's, there are no accelerated programs you can take in Canada which means you will have to go to school...

  13. Occupational therapist interested in nursing

    dayandnight replied to Irradus's topic in Canada

    It's easy to work in the field but it is very hard to change the system in way things are taught and done. In the states my facility was private and had a lot of education sessions weekly regarding...

    dayandnight replied to kate2827's topic in Canada

  15. Big career change... would like to make sure nursing is the right choice

    dayandnight replied to NBolas's topic in Canada

    Nursing is technically in the bachelor of "science" department, but you really feel quite apart from science, as research opportunities are minimal and we do not get to learn as much science classes...

  16. I need answers 💋

    dayandnight replied to Aisha_yusuff's topic in Canada

    1. figure out your immigration situation first, since without having a legal status, you really can't do much here even if you have a licence (and vice versa.. a license here does not lead to...

  19. RN with BSN interested in working (and possibly immigrating) in BC

    dayandnight replied to jucicool's topic in Canada

    I think I talked to you before but it's important to get the Immigration part figured out before moving to any country. It will be much better for you to have the US citizenship due to the fact that...

  21. how IEN find a job?

    dayandnight replied to Chocholate's topic in Canada

    The best way is to get your foot in the door. Start from someplace. Look for an agency, or residential care nearby. Apply everywhere. If English is a problem, I highly recommend (if you are a PR...

  22. New grad trying to find a job in Greater Vancouver area

    dayandnight replied to Daisies_7's topic in Canada

    They are cutting down on beds in the units so it might be a bit hard. Keep applying especially around smaller hospitals. I will give you a tip: around the Fraser Valley, "M" hospital is almost always...

  24. RPN to RN program -- is US the best option for IENs?

    dayandnight replied to marv114's topic in Canada

    Doesn't matter where you study if it's outside of Canada... it will still take the same amount of time to get your US education assessed by NNAS. You will probably have to take the OSCE again going...

    dayandnight replied to asht's topic in Canada

    I am not sure how comparable you education will be since the refresher courses in BC do not cover maternity etc. NNAS might give you a non-comparable assessment result but depending on the case they...
