    Jaggy Thistle posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi there, I've applied to CARNA for assessment in order that I may apply for a temporary permit to work in alberta. I'm wondering if anyone else out there knows the current timescale for receipt of...

    Yesssssssssssssssssssssss! I passed too!!!! If it helps anyone i'm in alberta. It's a huge relief and I'm so glad i've passed 1st time as I think the worry of not passing may have been the last straw...

  4. A Reasonable Orientation??

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    I did ask but they have quite a few new starts and feel they can't accommodate me unless I come in on my days off for additional orientation and even then not for too many (ie one or two). Other than...

  5. CARNA Timescale

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    CARNA will not assess any incomplete application so it won't even get to that stage. They know the bits of paper they need and will not even look at the application until they have all of it (I was...

  11. UK Nurse - Calgary - Maybe!

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Cheeca. Thanks so much for your reply. At least it's a positive. I've not had anyone P2000 as yet saying that they were deferred, but then I graduated in 2004 so maybe the later the course and of...

  12. UK Nurse - Calgary - Maybe!

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    Many thanks Silver Dragon. I've checked the sticky and at least I may have options. Just have to wait and see what CARNA throw back, if anything. You never know I may have done enough after all this...

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    Many thanks for your help and advice. I had thought about contacting my old Uni where I did my nursing course once I know the situation and what CARNA advise on their requirement for hours/experience...

    Thank you for your help. I will definitely do all the Saunders Comprehensive Review first and some other things I have on the go for reading before the course. The course is kind of a means to an...

  15. NCSBN-RN Online-NCLEX

    Jaggy Thistle posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. Help...Taken NCLEX 3 times

    Jaggy Thistle replied to ktd2005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey there, I can totally relate to how your feeling just now. It's hard. I've failed twice. However, I have been helped out by a Super Moderator (Suzanne4) who has a great plan and advice, which I...

  17. Frustrated!

    Jaggy Thistle replied to kjbridges's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know exactly how you'r feeling. I've failed the NCLEX twice and the second time I sat it in the U.S. whilst on vacation as I thought it would help and it did. I know now that I really didn't...

  18. Saunders vs Kaplan

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Drmy4ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've failed NCLEX twice :-( The first occassion was completely my own fault and I didn't realise how much was involved. I didn't study and I just thought "because I'm a nurse I should do o.k.!"...

    I currently work (from when I qualifed as an RN in March 04) in an Opthalmic Unit (eyes). It is very specialised but I love it. It's really interesting and you experience many aspect of eye...

  20. what made you decide on taking up nursing??

    Jaggy Thistle replied to krissy_07's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, I initially became a nurse as my previous job (secretary) was boring, unfullfulling, you were not respected for your work and I was starting to hate it. Then something changed my life plan and I...

  21. Opthalmic Nursing

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    PHEW! :uhoh21: you had me a bit worried there. I was starting to think i've laid out all this money so far and maybe it means I won't be able to get a job, so what's the point of the NCLEX, but thanks...

  22. Opthalmic Nursing

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    My University already verified my clinical hours experience with the board I am to take the NCLEX under and they were happy with this. Is this what you mean, or do you mean in terms of getting a job?,...

  23. Opthalmic Nursing

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    I have to admit, as the unit is so specialised (ie - we only ever take patients with specific eye problems) it's not busy like a general medical/surgical ward. The most in-patients we have at any one...
