Hello everyone! I have been in a dilemma for these past few months and it really bothers me a lot. I am a registered nurse in the Philippines and have graduated last March of 2013. I didn't have the chance to practice my profession there because we were petitioned by our mom here in Vancouver. Currently, I am here in Vancouver and of course, they have other policies when it comes to internationally educated nurses. 1. The equivalent of our 4 year BSN degree is only 2 years for the Canadian curriculum. 2. The applications and assessments are really expensive. I am really confused wether i should take up the additional 2 years here in Canada so that I will be able to take up their licensure examination afterwards. Or should i pursue another course instead because honestly, i believe that nursing is not for me and that I have been an aspiring lawyer all these years. To all nurses out there, please, Help me. I just want some eye openers from you guys. Thanks a lot!
