SRNA- requirements for application

[kirka]

hi! im a nurse in the Philippines and recently i passed the IELTS exam. i am now preparing to apply for the SRNA for Saskatchewan. but i am in doubt if i qualified for the 1125 working experience that they require. i have a 10 months experience in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. the 4 months was a nurse training and the 6 months where i got completely absorb by the hospital. if i will get the total number of hours for the 10 months that will be 1840 hours but if i dont include the nurse training it will be just 1100 hours. i will be so glad if someone will clarify to me if the SRNA will include nurse training as a work experience. thank you so much!!!!

I notice that there is a contact email address on this page of the SRNA site. If you send her a message, she can probably respond to your individual situation.

I moved this thread to the International Forum for you so that you get more responses regarding immigration and licensure issues.

Generally speaking training hours don't count toward the 1125 hours required to maintain your license unless you were being oriented to a new workplace. Work experience is WORK experience and you really aren't getting that if you're still being educated. As EricEnfermero suggested, you should contact SRNA and have their opinion.
