Greetings, Ms. Pinay-saffron! i'm a newbie in this forum, so am still unfamiliar with the settings here. As i browse the previous posts, this one caught my attention because of the similarity of our situation. I'm a registered nurse in the Phil, graduated batch 2009, and will work as a live-in caregiver in North York, ON this April 2013. I also plan to undergo the application process for RPN and RN as soon as possible, so i requested the form (but the CNO hasn't replied yet Sad ) Will it be ok with you if i ask a few more questions re:application and other job stuff? (such as, As live-in caregiver, can we apply for part time jobs as nurse assistants in nursing homes/long term care facilities? )pinay-saffron said:hi guys! I'm still under the live-in caregiver program but I started my assessment just 5 months after I arrived here in Canada.. I've recently passed the CPNRE, but sad to say, can't complete my registration until next year (probably July) and that means the new rules will be applied on my status as well. Sa una, nakaka-frustrate kasi all this time we're expecting that since they said that we're eligible, wala na sana problema. But on the bright side, additional education will give as an edge when we apply for work. Kung iisipin its a bit unfair sa mga nakapag-pass na before those rules are implemented kasi di ba when we applied, yun pa yung mga rules. But anyway, wala din naman tayo magagawa kundi mag-comply.
I graduated BSNursing last 2009. When I've known about the new rules, sumulat ako sa CNO to ask them what courses/subjects do I need to take up kasi next year hindi na ko aabot sa evidence of safe nursing practice which must be within the last 3 yrs. They replied with the subjects that I need to take up. Mag-inquire pa lang ako sa mga school na pwede kong pasukan for the info. If someone here has the same situation, please let me know. thanks in advance.
Thank you so much in advance.
