I am scheduled for October 1st CRNE and I just received an email from the College (CRNM) that I have an option to withdraw from the exam. Effective October 2, 2014 the College will recognize previous NCLEX RN writes for the purpose of RN registratio...

I was referring to the College of LPNs and RNs in MB (CLPNM & CRNM). I just meant to ask which CCA were you asking about because the difficulty level varies.:) Anyway, most of the people I know were referred to complete courses about Canadian nur...

Both Colleges require applicants to undergo the CCA. Are you applying as LPN or RN?

I know little about Swan River. All I know is it is 6 hours away from Winnipeg. A full time RN position seems tempting, along with all the grants you can get from the Manitoba Gov't for relocating and with working in rural areas. But positions are al...

I live and work in Winnipeg, MB. Even if you just have a part time position, almost always, you can get full time hours since they cant fill in open positions. I work in Long Term Care. Not sure how it is in acute care though.

According to figures from the Manitoba Nurses Union (2013) shortage still exists. Currently the province still provides funding to recruit and retain nurses. Check out the link below and see how many job openings are there for nurses (and that's just...

From what I understand about the recognition of previous NCLEX RN writes (going back 1982), it will be used as an entry to practice examination for purposes of registration as a registered nurse. Since you applied for RPN assessment, I think the exam...

I wonder if CRNM will have the same take on previous NCLEX writes? I recently received eligibility to write the CRNE as a Manitoba candidate and I passed the NCLEX RN in 2008. I have one year to write and pass the required exam. Seriously considering...

The Government of Manitoba still offers relocation assistance for nurses who come to the province to work. Lots of job openings for RNs and LPNs here but there are some things to consider though, including the weather. According to CNO's website: In...

Results are out here in Winnipeg, MB!

I suggest you apply for credentials assessment as soon as you get here as it is a very long process. I did apply for registration with both CLPNM and CRNM and it took at almost a year for me to get my LPN license and almost 2 years for my RN registra...

I took the September 11 CPNRE:)

Finally got mine yesterday! :) From Winnipeg, MB :)

No results in Manitoba yet, too. Goodluck to all of us! :)

Thank you! It just takes 1 day so I guess the one you took is definitely harder. I will send you a PM :)

Thanks! I got my result 1 day before the deadline to apply for the exam this September. Wheew!

I finished the CCA last May. I was told that results will be out in 2 to 4 weeks. Now on the 8th week but no results yet. Last week, my examiner told me that the results were already forwarded to CLPNM. Maybe next week I'll know, hopefully!

CLPNM registration for IEN is a painstakingly slow process, and it helps to make a follow up regarding the status of your application from time to time. Goodluck guys! :)

I've gone through the process myself for both CRNM and CLPNM application. I am here in Manitoba and I asked a representative from the Philippines to request the verification of registration from PRC. I completed all the forms here (Part 3- Licensing ...

I see. At least you're one step closer How long does the course take? 6 months?

What courses do you need to take? That's a long wait

With CLPN are you referring to the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA)? As for me, I did apply for registration with the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba (CLPNM) and I received the assessment results 5 weeks from t...

If you want to work in health care most facilities require you to at least have your current CPR and First Aid Certification. The certifications we have in the Philippines will not be accepted here in Canada. You can do that for now :-)

I inquired a few months back to the CA-BRN regarding my options for registration since I, too, took the NCLEX RN exam in 2008 but was not issued a license because I do not have a valid US SSN. This was their reply: Once the valid U.S. Social Security...

Agree. To other IENs, let's try our best not to be 'those nurses' that others would not like to work along with because of the endless ranting and language issues. It says a lot about our work ethics. It is always best to have a harmonious work rela...
