Where are you from?

Hi there

Beware of what you hear. I trained in the UK as a Diploma Nurse (project 2000) and my hours were accepted in Alberta. I wrote the exam, got a job and here I am.

Tell your friend to confirm it with the College of the province they are interested in before they ditch their plans :)

I would agree. Training does (and always has) differed from provider to provider. Whilst there are some givens in terms of syllabus, there are a number of variables in experience. For example some courses still offer obs experience, others have removed it altogether as direct entry midwifery almost prevents nurses going on to do their midwifery. Other schools do it as part of a rotation where some students do obs and others do kids but not both.

You know what you did and can make a judgement to some extent but dont forget that if you didnt actually do paeds but did some time with a Health Visitor or School Nurse this may count so it isn't as clear cut as you think.

The bottom line is if you don't go for it you will never know. And if there are defecits in your training at least you will know what they are and may be able to make them up in some way.

Good Luck, Lynn

Hey,

I recently obtained my degree at the U of S, and am working as a grad nurse in saskatchewan awaiting my CRNE results

Hi my name is Clare, this is my 1st post on this website, my family and I moved to Ontario last june from the UK I am hoping to sit the CRNE next year, I have already been offered a job in a local hospital but then found out I was expecting. They have offered to keep my full time post open for 1 yr after the baby is born so I am hoping to start in Jan 07. I am currently looking for a med/surg nursing in Canada study guide book, if anyone knows of a good 1 I would be most grateful.

Hello to everyone... what a great website this is!!!

Hi!

I'm from Philippines. Just finished my BSN course and still waiting for my NLE result! Hoping to work in US or Canada after 2-3 yrs.

hi... can you please tell me something about CRNE? I really dont have an idea about it!

Hi lenjoy03 CRNE is the canadian registered nursind exam

thanks... well... I would like to know, what's the difference between CRNE and NCLEX?

Nice to see so many Canadians on Allnurses.com! I have been reading posts on this site for a few years, and didn't realize there was so much Canadian content until just recently.

I'm from Nova Scotia...beautiful Annapolis Valley, but live in Halifax now.

Starting 4th and final year of my BScN at Dalhousie University in a few weeks...thank goodness...nursing school is not for the faint of heart. I am married with 2 kids and a part-time job, so it has been a constant juggling act these last 3 years of school...but so worth it...I love nursing! :)

Planning to work in Halifax, probably Capital Health.

I have been an LPN in Minnesota for 2 years, was educated in Minnesota, and going to sit my CRPNE this september, i currently live in northwestern ontario and hope to start working in canada soon! And if anyone has any advice on reading material, i only have a month to study! i have to test study guide, but is it enough??? thanks.

I'm from sunny Langley, British Columbia

I am an RN in Northern Ontario...however working in Michigan...in a mens prison...
