Hi I am just curious, what requirements that BCIT nursing department is really looking for? I have my Bachelor degree in Nursing outside of Canada about 10 years ago. Also, I had 5 years work experience as an ER nurse back home. I already passed the English requirement in BCIT because English is not my first language, and I also passed physiology and anatomy challenge exam. I passed NCLEX about 10 years ago, and registered in New York state but I haven't practiced as a RN over there. I moved to Vancouver 4 years ago with my husband, then I had kids and hasn't worked for 4 years already. Now my kids are old enough going to school, so I am thinking to pursue my nursing career again in BC. Even I had all my credential assessed in BCIT, I still don't know if nursing department would recognize my educational credential. Also, would my age be a problem?I am 32 years old, is there anyone has the same situation as me? Thank you!

Hi, I am an international trained nurse, and I am out of practice in Nursing for 5 years due to rising my 2 kids. Now I am planning to go back to be a RN again, my concern is would that be difficult for me to register with NNAS as a RN? I am thinking to take some nursing review course in MTI community college, is there anyone ever taken nursing courses in private college? any suggestion?
