To Pinaynurse,

Sige ba, lets meet sa Canada dun naman tayo papunta eh...naks yabang hehe :p

Madami nga pong requirements..magastos din ???. Pero sa tingin ko po kailangan nating i-try talaga na maging licensed..kahit isang try lang. At least nagtry di ba. Sabi po sa free orientation ng "CIIP" at "COA" kung ano ang unang work ng isang immigrant usually un na ung work niya for life. Huhuhu.

NCLEX? :mad: Ayaw ko na po ma encounter word na yan ;D Expire na NCLEX ko at hanggang ngaun nandito parin ako Pinas. Tsktsk.

To CP3isaIII,

Thanks for the info. Ang tagal palang dumating ng assessment ng Board of Nursing (14 months! Whaaa) kala ko mabilis. Buti kapa nakapag pa-assess ka na.
Sana nga dumating na MR mo. Stressful nga ung situation mo...daming deadlines. Hehe. Pero at least may assessment ka naman.

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.

Dear Mistletoes,

Hindi ako sure ..pero ang pagkakaintindi ko sa “Bridging Program” ginagawa eto if di tayo pumasa sa SEC assessment ng mga provinces (including Alberta). If pumasa tayo sa SEC assessment proceed agad sa board exam (CRNE) nila. If not, mag aaral tayo additional nursing education in the form of “Bridging Program”
May mga pinoy applicants claiming na go na sila sa CRNE. (If true..suerte sila!)

Eto po ang link ng College of Association and Registered Nurses of Alberta-for International Applicants.
http://www.nurses.ab.ca/Carna/index.aspx?WebStructureID=1277

The possible SEC assessment decisions are:
http://www.nurses.ab.ca/Carna/index.aspx?WebStructureID=2985
i. The applicant is currently eligible to write the CRNE and eligible to hold temporary registration, allowing them to work as a graduate nurse while completing the remaining requirements for registration outlined in Step Two. This decision is made when substantially equivalent competence is determined following review of application documents or as established through the results of a SEC assessment.
In some cases, the applicant is notified of their eligibility for restricted temporary registration and a restricted temporary permit. The applicant will be permitted to work as a graduate nurse with very specific restrictions on their practice. Certain conditions, which may include completing a SEC assessment and/or additional nursing education, must be met within defined time frames before they will be eligible to proceed write the CRNE.

ii. Eligibility for registration is deferred.The applicant must successfully complete additional nursing education assigned by CARNA before they will be eligible to complete the remaining requirements for registration outlined in Step Two.Additional education is required to address any competency gaps found in nursing theory or skills or currency of practice found during the review of application documents or as established through the results of a SEC assessment.

iii. The application is refused and the applicant is not eligible for registration. This decision is made when nursing education and/or registration status do not meet CARNA's application requirements or if extensive competency gaps are identified during the review of application documentation or as established through the results of a SEC assessment.

naku chinay, mabilis pa yung sa akin. yung sa cousin ng husband ko na nurse nakaalis na sya at naka 1 year ng nagwowork sa canada until now hindi pa lumlabas results ng assessment nya. inapply nya yun before sya umalis dito ha. marami rin syang kinukwento na nandoon na naghihintay pa rin ng assessment. sa kanya nga ako nagka idea na magpa assess ng maaga kaso MR ko naman ang mabagal. naiinip na sya at nagbabalak ng mag-NCLEX at lumipat na lang sa US after niyang maging citizen.

thanks , sna masagot mo ilang tanong ko kung ok lang

**parepareho tayo ng concerns nurses...girls share ko lng ng konti..bast each provinces regulated... RN or LPN man ang target niyo kailangan dumaan sa mabusising screening nila....pag na approve ang assessement or screening nga tsaka ka lang eligible to write the exam... ang requirements nila usually HOURS of NURSING EDUCATION, HOURS OF WORK, ENGLISH PROF....


**before kse nagbigay sila ng RN LPN exam sa PINAS ( yes dito po sa ortigas ) and that exam was RN and LPN for manitoba... yung pinsan ko umabot sa RN exam ako ang inabutan ko yung LPN exam.... that time they require na mag english exam muna before the exam..yung exam was TOEIC ( very easy naman siya compared sa IELTS ).... happy na pumasa ako pareho kaya lang...DI ko tinuloy application ko for Manitoba that time.... for registration na lang ako..I tried to contact manitoba and yun nga for registration na lang daw ako no need to write the exam ulit...kaso parang ayoko na pumta ng manitoba..gusto ko sakatchewan sana...i'll contact them pa the LPN regulatory kung possible ilipat ko sa kanila ang registration.... ang matindi nga lang is that ang taas ng IELTS required nila ngayon...

** ang mahirap is pag di sila satisfied sa HOURS of experience mo Bridging program ka nga talaga.....

** cross fingers for all of us future canadian nurse ;-)

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.
hi pinaynurse1,
actually, pareho tayong 3rd degree na ang nursing and like you, exposure ko sa hospital ay volunteer din lang 2mos. ;D
mukha namang ikinonsider nila sa assessment ko yung mga duty hours na yun kasi sa listahan ng requirements either of the 3 in the list lang yung hours...pasok naman sa graduated within 5years...kaya siguro exam at clinical sa med-surg na lang yung pinapa-complete sa akin.
naabot ko pa yung mababang IELTS score before Nov 5 2010 kaya pag nag expire yung IELTS ko sa Aug 2012, patay ako baka di ko na kayanin yung 7.5 ng listening! ;D

goodluck talaga sa atin! ;D
