  1. Accelerated BSN program at UBC (Vancouver)

    tkhun posted a topic in International Nursing

    This is my first post on allnurses.com. I am currently taking A&P offered by Athabasca university and hope to apply early next year for the BSN program offered by UBC. I have heard that it is very...

  2. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    tkhun replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The trick definitely works. I thought it would not work for me because I wrote the exam in Vancouver Canada and therefore didn't register for the exam online. But it worked for me. Wrote exam on...

  3. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    tkhun replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    H-Dog, I wouldn't worry too much about your previous degree if I were you. I think UBC does not specify previous degree in Sciences because they understand that as long as you have gone through some...

  4. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    tkhun replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    Go for the UBC program. The program is quite intense but I liked it that way because it made the months fly. Before you know it, you'll be done and graduating. As for clinical experience, my personal...

  5. Canadian nurse wanting to work in Arizona in the future

    tkhun posted a topic in International Nursing

    I would like to work in Arizona sometime in the foreseeable future (my husband and I own a house in Phoenix) and would like to write the NCLEX-RN now so that I am partly prepared when we eventually...

  6. Canadian nurse wanting to work in Arizona in the future

    tkhun replied to tkhun's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for your response. I would not be going for the TN1 visa or any visa at the moment because we have not even made a final decision on whether to go to the States or not. I just want to get...

    tkhun replied to sheraz86's topic in International Nursing

    Here are a few tips that may help you: 1. Study techniques on taking multiple choice questions until you are very comfortable with the best way to take multiple choice tests. I used techniques...

  8. CRNE exam OCTOBER 8, 2008

    tkhun replied to suzanne4's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    The BC results are in. I just got mine - I passed. Yeah!!! Now I don't have to put (Temp) after RN when signing in at work. Good luck to everyone else still waiting for their results. And thank you to...

  9. Which way should I go??

    tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International Nursing

    No, it's not hard to get 70% (70% is actually quite low); and Yes, there are a lot of ESNs in hospitals. The nice thing about being an ESN is that you are not counted as staff, you are extranumerary...

  10. Which way should I go??

    tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International Nursing

    ESNs were previously called UGNs (Undergraduate Student Nurse). You can get more information about them from here: http://www.vch.ca/careers/partnership/employment.html or here...

  11. Which way should I go??

    tkhun replied to Stray dog's topic in International Nursing

    Go the RN route and work as an ESN (Employed student nurse) during your RN training. That way you will end up with experience similar to an LPN's and be an RN at the same time. ESNs perform nearly the...

  12. US Citizen giving birth in Canada (I have a lot of family in Canada)

    tkhun replied to deathxgrind666's topic in International Nursing

    I think this is a question best answered by a lawyer. Even if you were to find an answer on the internet, it might not be correct or the information may be outdated. Better to pay the money and have...

  13. CRNE exam OCTOBER 8, 2008

    tkhun replied to suzanne4's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I think this is good advice for those who may want to work in the US in the future because the information used to prepare for CRNE is still fresh in our minds and it will be relatively easy to add...

  14. Migrating to Canada: Question

    tkhun replied to control's topic in International Nursing

    It doesn't have to be cash - I don't think it's advisable to travel with that kind of cash. It can just be a bank statement showing that you have the equivalent of Can 10K in the bank. They make it...

  15. Migrating to Canada: Question

    tkhun replied to control's topic in International Nursing

    It's 10K CAN - it's not an application fee, but the money you will need to survive on when you have landed in Canada and are still looking for a job and getting settled. It sounds about right, but you...

  16. UBC advanced standing program

    tkhun replied to xingyuan's topic in International Nursing

    I think I read somewhere on cnsa.ca that UBC gives you a chance to review your application with them to find out what you could have done to get accepted. Check with the UBC school of nursing about...

  18. UBC Nursing Interview....Help!!!

    tkhun replied to parmtree's topic in International Nursing

    This post is old news but I just wanted to conclude it by saying that I got invited for an interview after all. I went for my interview on a Wednesday and today I got an email advising me that I have...

  19. UBC Nursing Interview....Help!!!

    tkhun replied to parmtree's topic in International Nursing

    Oh well... We tried... It's depressing for sure, but there are other colleges and universities that will take us. Where there is a will, there is a

  20. UBC Nursing Interview....Help!!!

    tkhun replied to parmtree's topic in International Nursing

    I also applied this year but haven't heard from them about an interview. The last email I received was from Ruxandra telling me that the application process would close on June 15. They have started...

  21. Engineer who wants to take up Nursing Degree

    tkhun replied to Bitoy123's topic in International Nursing

    Bitoy, since you are a Canadian citizen and have a degree, why not move back to Canada and enroll in an accelerated BSN degree? That means you will only do 2 years and will pay far much less for it...
