i'm a mercan hired... but to no avail wasn't granted a visa... i had my medicals last yr sa nationwide, so i opted to apply again. this time with high hopes as FSW... i have included my CLP, so i can have higher points. ayaw pa kasi namin talaga mag settle... not if we are guaranteed of something na talaga...
anyway, lola bash... the one your referring po na nurse assistant at first then RN... mga ALBERTA HIRED po sila. iba kasi dun. every province vary from protocols as to how they can practice their profession. yun nga lang they had a hard time sa work... di sila naregular... worst! some were sent back to pinas, while others are fighting for their rights to stay... nung nakapasa sila sa CRNE... they weren't offered any jobs na... ang masaklap, nagaral pa sila ng more than a year just to have the "ELIGIBILITY" to take the boards... kasi doon they need to have the SEC na rarely lang nakakapasa mga IENS. as of now, marami pa ako friends na naka tengga... both nov 07 and july 08 alberta hired. Nevertheless, there were also lucky nurses who were hired in SK... pag land nila dun... GN(graduate nurse) na sila, wala SEC na required - exam agad, and right after passing the boards... RN na! 6mos. after ayun! PR na sila... walang kahirap hirap. both feb08 and jan09 almost lahat nurses nasa SK na.
For manitoba naman, sa ibang agency rin,,, mga friends ko sa hospital, naka land narin dun. lenient din sila. pag land, exam agad. RN then PR.
So if you are really wise... then go for provinces na di masyado complex ang processing ng eligibility nila.
I am for SEC sa Alberta... But this time, i'm thinking to apply again sa BC/// mas gusto ko na mag settle dun (if god permits)...
Ngayon, gusto ko muna dumating ang medicals ko, before i do the next move...
Nga pala, if you wanted to be a clinical Instructor, baka mag require din sila ng MASTERAL... i'm just assuming, pero parang ganun na nga... otherwise, you really need to go back to the same old routine... hospital staff nurse.
goodluck po sa lahat!
