The school will be the one to arrange for it, but there's a waiting list and a limited slot. Only 15 per semester i think.

Thanks for your response. Just wondering how was your job hunting experience after completing the required courses and how long it took you to finish everything. Thank you

Thanks a lot for sharing with me your perspective on this matter, I really appreciate it í ½í¸Š

CRNBC was the one who recommended the courses and it can be taken at Kwantlen here in BC. I am hoping someone could share their recent experience in applying for the consolidated clinicals (250 hrs) so that I could decide which path to take. If it will take me about the same time to finish the courses and clinicals required by CRNBC and the re entry course, then I'd rather go for the re-entry. The amount of money I have to spend is about the same only difference is I 'might' finish my registration faster if I take the short courses. Only thing that worries me is if I can get a job right after registration.

The IENs that I know took the re-entry course (GNIE) and I know only one who took the short courses, so I just wanted to find out more information. Before I decide on which path to go I want to research and find out more about IENs experiences. Time, money and work are being considered and it's not an easy decision. As I have limited resources and connections, i thought the best way to at least help get an answer is posting a thread or joining a forum.

Hello, I have recently taken the SEC in BC and was advised 2 short courses and a consolidated clinical. Most of the IENs I have asked said that I will have a hard time looking for a job if I didn't go for the GNIE program. I have 10 yrs of experience working as a RN and I would like to find out if anyone is in the same dilemma. I need to decide if I should go for GNIE instead in order to have a better chance of getting a job from the health authorities or Should I proceed with taking the short courses and have my registration sooner. Your suggestions, experiences and view on this matter will be truly helpful. Thanks
