   Hello fellow IENs! Don't be discouraged by the low passing rate. I would say go for it! I passed the osce last august. It was tedious and quite hard but can be done! Few tips: Read the standards of care in CNO website as well as the examples Review o...

2. Frustrating CNO process for IENs

   kakeru replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

   I wasn't assuming anything. It's the tone of some of the comments that puts me off. I just can't take being pushed to the ground as if IENs have nothing to offer. And not complaining doesn't always resonate happiness it just sometimes mean that they ...

   kakeru replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

   Did you know that IENs who have longer & more extensive experience are being offered higher salaries compared to the newly grads of Canada? That means length of experience matters my dear. How is that any different with being assessed for entry-t...

   IENs came to Canada under the federal skilled worker category. We are not refugees whom you might perceive as dependents of your government. It was Canada's government who identified that there was shortage of nurses here and so we came with their p...

   Tell you what... apparently your government said the opposite. And any education was never shouldered by Canada. It's being paid by the IENs like me. And I am working not as a nurse yet but paying taxes religiously. No IEN will ever thought of being ...

   I understand where you are coming from and before I came here I have weighed all the risks involved with our move. It has been a great deal of sacrifice considering what I left behind. And I have every right as an immigrant and I am religiously payin...

   kakeru replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

   Not really. I never wanted to work in US. It never was an option to me, honestly. I've chosen Canada over US from the start. Must have been a wrong decision though... Don't get me wrong, being an RPN is not in anyway demeaning. I just felt that IEN'...

   And do you think that's fair?the OSCE here in Ontario aims to assess IEN's gaps in regards to Canadian nursing system plus the many areas of nursing. Given this predicament, it can easily be inferred that the answers to the so called "gaps" are avail...

   kakeru replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

   I understand that CNO is a licensing body. Most of the IENs are willing to comply with what is required. However, CNO has an obligation that the rules they make are congruent to the education offered here in Ontario. There's no sense of having been a...

    Hello everyone! Has anyone who failed OSCE been notified how to successfully meet the gaps? From what I've heard, the were no particular subjects being offered by the universities to specifically meet the gaps identified in the OSCE assessment. The ...
