Hi Guys! Please allow me to join this forum. I'm also interested in Saskatchewan. Nurse din po ako. No relatives in Saskatchewan but would like to go there because of the positive feedback I've read about the province. ;)

I've seen lots of jobs available in Saskatchewan sa web but any luck with applying while still here in Pinas? Na-try nio po bang mag apply while still here?

hi chinay,
i tried looking for jobs while still here kaso pag tiningnan mo yung requirements lalo na sa nurses mukhang walang pagasang makakuha dahit dapat licensed nurse or at least may GN license... i dont know baka merong may ibang experience kasi baka hindi ko lang tinatyaga...umaasang dumating na muna ang MR ;D

i notice 2 ang NOC mo, paano yun?

Hi CP3isaIII,

Kasi nurse ako at nag clinical instructor din. Kaya NOC ko for nurse and teacher. :)
Waiting for PPR ako now. Trying my luck to find work as early as now. May mga nag rereply pero karamihan live-in caregiver/ nanny. 10-11 Dollars plus 250 dollar less sa room.

Mahirap nga maging nurse kaya LPN (assistant nurse) muna ang i-tatry ko.
Share ko lang link sa application process ng nurse.
http://www.srna.org/registration/licensure/ien-requirements/87-ien-instructions-to-apply
Matindi requirements! Language requirement S/W 7.5, R 7, L 8.. :eek:
Work experience: 1225 hours of nursing practice or RN Graduate or Completed Bridging Program "SIAST"
By the way ang bridging program na yan 32 months..ang saya!

Tumawag ako sa SRNA (saskatchewan Reg Nurses Asso) sabi sa akin, 7 in RSW and 7.5 daw sa Listening. Actually, 3rd degree ko na ang Nursing kaya wala ako masyado exposure sa hospital, ilang months lang...volunteer pa. Tanong ko sila paano if wala ako syado exposure sa ospital. Pero sabi sa akin ng SRNA hours of duty lang daw noong student ako ang e-count nila. Naka pa register na nga ako sa NCLEX, set aside ko muna para sa IELTS na to kasi parang ang taas ng required score nila. Mas mabilis yata ang maging nurse sa US kaysa sa Canada ah, kung di lang talaga dahil sa retrogression. hehehe.
Sabi ng father-in-law ko kasi doctor sia sa saskatoon, andami daw nag reretire na nurses doon, hundreds daw....much more daw this year. So, sobrang in demand daw ang nurses ngayon sa saskatoon...lagi lagi nga daw sa tv narereport ang demand ng nurses.

Kaya, go! go! go! lang tayo lagi....Lord knows whats best for us talaga :)

Dear Pinaynurse,

Yes, thanks for the info. Nabasa ko now may so called Standard Error of Measurement or SEM sa IELTS ng Saskatchewan Nursing and LPN- "a score 0.5 above and below will be considered". :) pero mataas parin ung requirement para sa akin.
Tanong po sa mga nurses sa forum na eto. May mga nag start na po ba inyong mag pa asssess sa Board of Nursing ng Sask? Kailangan po bang mag Bridging Program? Thanks po.

Hi Chinay,

Actually nakapagpa-assess na ako sa SRNA ng nursing documents ko kasabay kong sinimulan yung application noong dumating yung first AOR ko (Nov 2010). Dumating na yung results ng assessment nila after 14 months at ang sabi i need to complete a Substantially Equivalent Competency (SEC) Assessment sa SIAST. Based sa assessment nila I need to take a paper and pencil exam, clinical lab and case management situations sa area ng med-surg only. and i must complete that in Regina. pag naipasa ko daw yun pwede na ako mag sit sa CRNE. pag bumagsak saka pa lang ako magbibridging program which they will identify kung gaano katagal at saang area pa.

problema ko pag hindi dumating agad yung MR ko within the first quarter, i need to take IELTS ulit kasi hanggang Aug 2012 na lang ang validity noon sa SRNA application ko... tapos yung med-surg exam nga na yun ay kailangang mai-schedule ko within one year from date of receipt (Jan 19, 2012).

hay, nai-stress na nga ako sa kakahintay sa MR nadagdagan pa nito plus mag sstart na ulit akong mag review! sana dumating na MR...let's pray hard.

Ay sus, ano bah yan! an dami dami naman!!! hahahaha....sa NCLEX, transcript at Duty hours lang noong student tayo...plus pera....eligible kana! Pag pumasa ka, USRN kana! hehehe. May experience man o wala. Sus, ang dami naman nila requirements! Cousin ko, kakapasa lang sa Local Board dito, then nag migrate agad, di man lang nag duty sa ospital dito kahit one day...kumuha lang ng exam sa US, noong pumasa...kahit walang experience, tanggap agad. Doon kasi ngayon, tumatanggap na sila ng fresh graduates. Ay ano ba yan, bat parang ang hirap naman maging nurse sa Canada. hehehe.
