Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
Canadian Dream,
How long did it take between invite for SEC and attendance at SEC?
Did you find it difficult to get a place on the one year re-entry course at Kwantlen?....and how much is it costing?
I applied in Aug 2014 before NNAS stuff started. It has taken a few months t get all documentation together but finally everything is with CRNBC so hoping for an invite to SEC in New Year. I'm really hoping to get on IEN re-entry course in Sept 2015 but thought it might be a pipe dream.
I'm Canadian but trained in UK so moving home and avoiding any hassle with immigration. CRNBC is hassle enough!
Any advice/info greatly appreciated!

I've a friend who is studying for her NCLEX exam, she passed her OSCE. I think it took 18 months to come through. She applied for RPN at the same time and that still hasn't come through. In the meantime she's working as a PSW.

Hi, I'm currently going through the NNAS verification process as well and the "notarization" bit threw me too. Did you ever figure it out? I've emailed them asking for clarification about exactly what it is that they require so hopefully all will be clear soon.

I got the invite for the SEC in January 2014 and originally they didn't have any places until the april but I was lucky and got in on a cancellation as I live in Langley so easy for me to attend, it then took 6 weeks for the results to come back. I was then lucky again and very persistent with admin at Kwantlen and got a place for the September 2014 one week before, I originally had a place for January 2015.
If your here in BC and ready to go at the drop of a hat then it's possible.....once you get invited for SEC email them saying you can attend at short notice ( if you can)
Good Luck

Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
can someone please just provide me with a simple answer...we are thinking NS, I am dealing with the registration now...applied before the changes, flying over in April for the Full Nursing assessment, then I know I will need to do extra modules so it will take whatever it takes...am I completely wrong thinking that I would like to get a registration first...then apply for the job...then with the job offer apply for either visa or PNP...I would rather stay in UK until the registration is sorted...but everyone is doing it completely different...am I wrong?

You need to do what you need to do for you and your family. Sounds about right for me though what you have planned
