UK nurse - work in canada before taking CRNE?

Published

Hi, I am a UK registered nurse hoping to work in Alberta Canada in sept/oct 2010. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on weather it is best to apply to the province to work as a graduate nurse first, gaining experience before taking the CRNE, or do most people just apply to their province and then go straight onto taking the CRNE?

I hope this makes sense!!

From what I understand of it, the 250 hours of supervised practice is to be provided by your prospective employer.

Thankyou Janfrn and Fiona59 for the inside info! I had just started looking into it after working in the UK for a year but always wanted to nurse in Canada. Thankyou for your replies and information. Katy
