I qualified in 2002. I've sent off now for application packs from a few provinces...although I think Vancouver is the best place for me to go. How long has the process took for you, and how did you arrange to sit your exam....what prep did you do? Thanks for the help aswell:-)

Hi, doing nights in ST. Mary's hospital, London....still trying to get my head round today's events! Can't believe it, have never seen anything like it! Hope you're all ok.....

Yeah, I did do 18months Child/ Psych/ PLD where I had clinical & theoretical components and then 18months General adult (Med/ Surg). This all seems a bit down-heartening! I suppose I've got ALOT of work to do to get there! Where do I start :uhoh21:

Gynaecology only covers Pregnancy up to 20weeks....or to 24 weeks if the patient is miscarrying unfortunately, as well as the usual women surgeries/ sexual health. In the UK Obstetrics is completely different....you could say there's a healthy rivalry between us Gynae nurses and the midwives....

My nurse training included Psych/ Children/ PLD (People with Learning Difficulties) and Adult (Med/ Surg). However I chose to work in Gynaecology after I qualified.... but I still have pre- qualification hours for the others. How many hours are required?

I suppose the larger hospitals are in the larger cities.... I'd go anywhere...been living in London for past 8 years in the smog and pollution, although home is by the Irish north- western coast (next- stop Canada:-) where there's rarely a car in sight! I'm used to both worlds...however, I do miss the country living and fresh air! If I got the opportunity to go to Canada, I'd go anywhere though! Just happy to go!

Hi, 1st post here....this website is fantastic by the way! I'm Irish, trained in London, England, where I've been qualified for 3 years, specialising in Gynaecology/ Women's Health, and now have position of Ward Sister/ F Grade. Have been interested in moving to Canada/ US for a while....however, I think Canada is more appealing. Can you let me know if NCLEX and Canadian Nursing Exams are similar (I've done 2x 10wk courses in NCLEX prep) and where in Canada would be best to relocate. Also, are there any Gynaecology nursing specialities in Canada, or is it just under Med/ Surg as in the US. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
