Hello everybody,,
TO all inquiring about the Job demand here with N U R S I N G..
Yes,, it is a VERY HIGH IN DEMAND,, there' literally hundreds of employment for RNs here.
However, the challenge is getting the RN license, the process is tasking, yet straight forward.
The biggest challenges for everybody is
1. The IELTS acad score requirement (Writing 7, Speaking 7, Listening 7.5, Reading 6.5)
2. The competence assessment from the college (they require you to take this when you have less experience working as an RN, Hence, whatever skill or knowledge you need to improve on, you would have to take a course for it) This competence assessment have a lot of booking which will take you atleast 5 months before you get your turn. Also, the two-day assessment costs roughly 1200$ (ouch) (Doesn't include yet the courses you have to take if ever you don't pass some of the competency)
3. When you get your eligibility to take the CRNE, (yipeee!), the exam is very challenging. It is only a half day exam, and it costs 550$ to take it. (you can only take it 3 times, if you still didnt pass it, you will have to take a bridging/re-entry course for approx 1 year)
***if you pass the exam, the registration costs another 550$*** (don't worry, this is not a problem once youre an RN here)
