My husband has just been offered a position outside of Toronto we can't pass up. I am an RN currently working in home health. Can anyone give me advice on what I need to do to be able to practice as an RN in Canada? If you have any information on the Markham area as well, that would be an added bonus!!! Excited, but very nervous!!! Thanks!

DBain 8 Posts Feb 15, 2011 It took me almost 9 months to get from submitting to the College of Nursing of Ontario to sitting the CRNE ... so get the process started.

dishes, BSN, RN 3,950 Posts Jun 5, 2011 nov2010You can check into the RN to BSN program at D'youville in Buffalo, it is classroom format but I do know some nurses who lived and worked in Ontario and attended classes part time at D'youville in order to obtain their MSN. I cannot recall if any of them did their BSN through D'youville but you can find this out by asking D'youville.I don't know if you are aware but York University offers a post-RN BScN for internationally educated nurses. See entry criteria, http://futurestudents.yorku.ca/programs/nursing/intldishes
Nov2010 34 Posts Jun 5, 2011 Thanks Dishes. Do you know any internationally educated nurse who graduated from york university 20months program, and granted eligibility for CNRE? Does york's program grant BScn or Certificate? I need prove?
dishes, BSN, RN 3,950 Posts Jun 5, 2011 nov2010York grants a BScN, graduates are then eligible to write the CRNE. A couple of York's internationally educated RN-BScN students have done their clinical placement at my workplace but I did not have the opportunity to meet them, so cannot comment on their experience with the program. If you meet York's eligibility criteria, are accepted into and complete the program, it may be the most straight forward way for you to become eligible to write the CRNE.dishes
