Wow thank you so much! You really are a big help!

Do you recommend going to York University that offers a BScN for IEN program which only takes 12mos full time?

I see. I was hesistant to enrol at York U since as far as I know, it is the only school here that offers this program in just less than 2 years compared to other schools. So thank you and I guess, I'll enrol at YU. By the way, is the YU the one to provide this "clinical placements"?

Yes, the CNO sent me that I needed additional education and training along with a competency gaps list. Do you know of some who went to York University and was qualified to take the Canadian NCLEX RN?

Hi I am a newly RPN. I am an IEN and was assessed by the CNO as qualified to take the CPRNE. I have no experience (recent grad from the Phils) and definitely a new immigrant in this country. Passing the CPRNE was a just the start coz finding a job will be the most difficut phase of all especially for a baby like me. No experience and an IEN. I researched and found out that almost all institutions requires a lot of credentials, of course almost all of them requires a 2-3years of experience, but scratch that. This will be all about gaining a lot of credentials that will rise us up above all the competitors for the job. For the mean time, here are the necessary certificates one must take (I must take!) a.) BCLS certification b.) IVT certificaton c.) specialization certificate d.) Volunteer (I think this is a good asset and will try doing this) Question: a.) What other courses/certificates should I add in the list to get a higher probability of being hired? b.) What other options should I take to be able to be absorbed in a hospital facility? (like volunteering) c.) Can you advice me of institutions that provides this courses with a cheaper fee? And that you have attended too?

Hi I am a IEN from the Philippines, was assessed by the CNO for RN and RPN. Although, was only qualified to take the RPN exam (took it and an RPN now). I have no experience since I'm a recent graduate and migrated to Canada immediately after getting my license in the Philippines just last year (2014). For all the IENs wanting to pursue their profession as an RN here in Canada, I believe lots have already researched. As for me, these are the schools that I found that offers the additional education and training: a.) Goerge Brown College/Centennial College, both in partnership with Ryerson University. -they offer 1year schooling at one of the colleges, after that 2years in Ryerson -takes 3 years to complete b.) York University -they specifically offer a program called BSN for IEN -takes a 20months (less than 2 years) full time schooling which starts on January and ends on August the following year Questions: a.) I was wondering if you complete (whichever) program they have, will it guarantee you a 100% to be QUALIFIED by the CNO to take the CRNE? b.) What do you think is the best path to take? c.) What are the differences between the two (or if you know of other schools with IEN program too? d.) Do you know of any better options to take?

I was too late to enrol for this year's program. So I'm going to wait for a whole year till January 2016 to be able to attend. I was wondering if after completing the 20months full time program, will you be guaranteed to be able to qualify for the CRNE by the CNO?

Do you recommend going to York University that offeres BScN for IEN that only takes 20months full time? It's like only less than 2 years compared to 3years in a college to university...
