FILIPINO NURSES applying for CNO REGISTRATION ONLY - English and Tagalog posts

[kimwayne]

matagal na ako dito sa forum,but lately naging inactive kc ang tgal dumating yon MR..Since I am back on the truck,I am happy at maraming akong natutunan,even do I was not able to read all the discussions.

So,naiisip ko after reading from the previous post,I will try my luck to go to RPN route also.

hi canimmigrant! May I please ask what preparations have you done here so far, in terms of becoming a registered nurse in canada? I just want to have an idea on how my preparations are stacking up with the other immigrant nurses, or am i not doing things quite fast enough.Thanks!

hello trxcis!

like paulferrer, i am awaiting the result of my assessment with the CNO... i have removed it from my mind at the moment dahil last day of filing naman na for the october exam today, july 25 (if my memory serves me right : )... i intend to focus on it when my assessment arrives... pag pinalad na makakuha ako ng eligibility, then i plan to devour the compendium and whatever reviewer i can get my hands on... i plan to use the mosby CRNE reviewer as it is highly recommended by those who passed the exam already... pero mag rereview lang ako pag nakapagpa schedule na ako ng test date... based on my experience, it is futile to review without a definite exam date... so for the mean time, i'm just focusing my energy on our coming big move to canada... i'll deal with everything once the assessment is out...

pag, wag naman sana Lord :'( , i require pa ako mag bridging program, i will take the RPN registration route... then do my bridging program... basta ultimate goal ko is to become an RN ;D

i hope we all become eligible and find good jobs there... let's keep positive and ignore those who try to put us down... pasasaan ba at may mag re-retire sa mga iyan, tayo ang papalit sa kanila! hahahaha!

goodluck!

you may have yourself assessed even without a PR visa... however, you will be required to present proof of permanent residency, citizenship or valid working visa (i'm not sure if your live-in caregiver working visa will suffice or if they require a working visa that is particular to the nursing profession) to get yourself licensed... ang assessment kasi is just the first step to licensure... i suggest you consult the web page of the College of Nurses of Ontario and learn about the registration process of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs)... you will find out everything you need to know about registering as a nurse in ontario there...

others here have opted to have themselves assessed as RPNs first... kasi we are qualified to sit for the RPN CRNE... the RN CRNE requires more experience or a MAN degree and completion of the Baccalaureate Equivalency Table (something you can learn about by reading the previous posts)...

goodluck! i hope this helps... by the way, question lang, ang live-in caregivers ba nire-require pa mag IELTS? thanks!

hello guys, may idea po ba kayo kung ilang months ang processing ng CNO for RN assessment? thanks

 

[pinay-saffron]

@ canimmigrant: thank you so much s reply.. check ko yung website na yun.. ang balak ko naman talaga RPN mna,kasi my mga nakausap nrn ako d2 n ganun dn ginawa nila,RPN mna then RN.. anyway, my work permit kc ako tapos temporary resident visa ang hawak ko, i'm not sure dn kung pwede nga ba yun..
live-in caregivers are not required to take the IELTS, but we have the speaktest, it assesses our knowledge as a caregiver, at the same time, ina-assess dn ung english fluency.. some can choose to take the IELTS but there's no assurance that you will not be required to have a personal interview with the embassy.. so many applicants choose to take the speaktest, like what i did.

Since first course ko is Computer Science (4 years), do I have to ask my CS school to fill-up the verification form (para sa mga credited units ko)? O ung BSN school ko lang? As in gusto ko kasi i-submit na lahat ung mga pwde pa nilang kailanganin before we leave..

Thanks again.
