Anyone wishing to work as a nurse in Quebec must be a member of OIIQ or ung Ordre des Infirmieres et Infirmiers du Quebec, that's Quebec's professional order for nurses..
1. Mainsteps to be followed to obtain your right to practice are the ff:
a. application for recognition of equivalence-they assess and take account of any additional training and professional experience and makes an individual decision for each application.
b. obtain recognition of equivalence
c. compete a professional integration program (bridging)
d. obtain the status of Candidate for the Profession of Nursing (CPN)-once you received your recognition of equivalence, you can practice as a CPN. This temporary status gives you the privilege of practicing some activities reserved to nurses. This answer your question number four. you can be paid here but still under the supervision of an expert nurse sa unit..
e. pass the professional examination-the OIIQ holds two examination sessions per year. You must sit the examination whenever you are notified of the examination. Any unjustified failure to sit the examination is considered a failure..with regards to your question number 2, you are entitled to three tries in a two year period.
f. obtain your permanent permit-once you have completed the examination, you must meet two more conditions before obtaining your PERMANENT PERMIT..
1. knowledge of french
2. disciplinary, criminal or penal checks..---once you have completed these conditions, you will be issued your permanent permit. this permit is granted to you only once, for your entire professional career..
then...
f. apply for entry on the roll of the order
congrats fully Quebec RN na..hehe..i dont have any idea to your question 3..lol
