  1. How to become a nurse in Quebec?

    Hi there, I am a Canadian/BC nurse, graduated in 2005, would like to go to Montreal and be a nurse. My French is pretty good. To be a nurse there, must I re-write a nurse exam (similar to CRNE ) based out of Quebec or is it just a French exam? Anyon...
  2. Health Staff Recruitment?

    Hi...I've decided to move to Melbourne and pursue some nursing there. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this recruitment agency?
  3. How to become a nurse in Quebec?

    Yes, that's what I made out on the site as well and I was hoping I was wrong. I cannot imagine re-wrting the CRNE in French unless I took some French medical course first. It's one thing to speak French and another to know all the medical lingo. A ...
  4. Health Staff Recruitment?

    Pretty basic questions like why you want to go, what area you want to work in, which location - urban or rural.
  5. Health Staff Recruitment?

    Her name is Jonelle Mais. So far, so good....takes about 6 months to get everything ready to go. Yes, keep in touch, let me know things work out for you as well.
  6. Health Staff Recruitment?

    Hi Cali83, well so far, I've good relations with the company. They are different from an agency. The recruitment office does not employ you, but they look for hospitals to employ you. They do charge a fee from hospital, a price to pay if you want ...
  7. Rates of Pay in OZ

    I've been researching rates of pay in Melbourne, as I plan to move there next winter if everything goes okay. Although I am open to other parts of Australia too...the whole country seems so beautiful. I have been talking to one recruiter (I know, I ...
  8. Rates of Pay in OZ

    I am still interested in that downunder experience:) Again, thanks for all the input.
  9. Rates of Pay in OZ

    It also depends how long you work for in Australia. I believe the longer you stay, the less you pay. It's quite a pay cut though to be moving from Canada to Australia...about $10/hr. Canadian! It would seem to be more about a choice of desiring th...

  11. Rates of Pay in OZ

    Thanks Gwenith...now I'm leaning closer towards Queensland. Perhaps you should look into recruiting if nursing falls thru? :chuckle Bethem...as an assistant nurse you get paid the same as a first year nurse in VIC...then perhaps nurses get paid mo...

  14. Canadian RN Exam

    depends on how much you already know. I think going thru your notes is a very good idea.
  15. Canadian RN Exam

    the short answer questions are more about identification. Define so and so. What are the symtoms of this and this. Give 3 signs of blah blah blah. Know your diseases, your procedures and some creative thinking and you should be fine.
  16. Hi there, I'm finding it quite impossible to find a job in psych at the moment (I've applied for countless jobs in Winnipeg,MB). So, since I've always wanted to go to Australia...I thought -why not?? I'm a little lost though when it comes to agencie...
  17. Canadian RN Exam

    Congrats OVG and all the others who passed!! I also passed and I've got to say it's the best feeling in the world. I was really worried and I think worrying for almost 10 weeks created a huge weight on my shoulders...it's now gone.
  18. Canadian RN Exam

    Yes...we were told 9-13 weeks. But really - why? There were only 30 mulitple choice questions. Is it so hard to mark them? I think that the system is faulty here. There should be no reason to wait so long. I know that the people writing before th...
  19. Canadian RN Exam

    Hi, prepare yourselves for a terribly long wait to get results. As it stands, it's going on 8 weeks since I wrote the exam in June. I never was convinced that I passed it and was hoping to re-write if need be on Aug.10. This deadline is approaching...

  21. Advice for Canadian RN Exam

    Hi all, I just wrote the CRNE last Wednesday. Yes...it was hard. The CRNE prep guide helped only with the types of questions but don't count on it be the only thing you need to study. I suggest going over your med-surg notes a few times. Also questio...

    Thanks for your replies re: the Calif. region. I will be into it in the future. Perhaps a little vacation is in order!
  23. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    I've been California dreaming for soooo long. Am young & free and considering all the exciting options of moving somewhere interesting. Roni - which part of Cal. do you live/work in? Everyone - names of any hospitals/websites in Cal. which offe...
  24. Quickest Way for Getting Things Done and Licensed in US

    Thanks for all the great information! Just wondering how the Minnesota licensing works? Does it take long to receive results there? I'm a bit closer to that state than NY.
  25. Tell us what makes your location great for a nurse!

    HI SK! What sort of things have you heard and how much truth do they hold? I hear things here and there too. I do love Canada, it is a great and beautiful country, but I'd love to get away for a while and experience other cultures. Any other places y...
