vickyehi:
I get your point but my understanding of post graduate programs are that they just help to expose you to Canadian concepts. Programs such as geriatrics, critical care, nursing practice etc.

Except you are saying that this program has been pre approved as a bridging program

vickyehi:
Again I stand to correct an impression.
This 2 year program doesn't automatically confer Canadian RN status on you when you graduate. It helps you be in a better position to be successful in the general process that everyother person will undergo (with or without this programs). Just like omni college, they integrate you to the "canadian way of nursing" , which makes the assessment exams somewhat easier for you.

This in simple terms means that if you attend University of Alberta or Regina and do a 2 year after degree nursing program, at the end of the program you can sit for the nclex without any paper work from NNAS. Because it is a 4 year basic degree compressed into 2 years, and you get a BN from Canada on graduating.

On the flip side, completing WCC alone would not make you eligible to take NCLEX-RN and practice. You need to do NNAS and the college of nursing processes as an internationally trained nurse. The advantage of WCC is the perceptorship program and the integration.

The first set of people you meet and surround ursef with when you arrive UK will most likely determine ur life in the UK.

BEEJAY452:
Yes, thank you. It looks like a competency assessment program.
I'll prefer other programs in Nursing that does not require RN registration in Canada first if available.

Nuelladoll:
Good evening my amiable colleagues.
Please I am a JJC, I know nothing concerning this but I wish to migrate to Canada. Can someone give me a guideline on how I can go about it so I can start early to prepare.
I'm RN, RNA with 6 years experience. Rounding up BSc this year by God's grace.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello, in response to your question below, I used Ieltsliz, ieltsadvantage, The IELTS Listening Test on Youtube, Career zone ielts institute Moga India also on Youtube. I also downloaded sample answer sheets from the official ielts website (this helped in preparing me for the real deal, time management and all), did the available practise tests and that was it. Total prep time took about three weeks, since I was juggling this alongside my 9-5. Results came out as L-9, S - 8.5, R- 8.5, W- 7, Overall- 8.5.

P.S: I didn't practise writing until the day before the exam and I regret it till date. Do not make the mistake of underrating writing!! For speaking, just read through frequently asked speaking questions online, once you can get past the accent of the examiner, you'd be just fine! I got these pages based on recommendations here, thank you all for your contributions. Goodluck!

Amy360:
Thank you so much @ Bluebeard,I'm so much interested in Canada,so what's the way for Canada.

Alpheziz:
@BlueBeard you are missing something..... I don't think she already has an RN license as an intern nurse There is new process now in Nigeria.,,,.. Since she is not through with her internship, what they have issued her now is "licensed intern " until after she completes her one year internship before they will give her the main RN license.... I don't think she will be able to use that "license intern" document to process her nmc uk ...I stand to be corrected on this.

Amy360:
Goodday everyone,please what positive impact does having an Msc in public health have on a BSN graduate nurse who wants to live and work in Canada as a registered nurse.I learnt that that having an MSC gives you a better chance to entering Canada,please how true is this.
I also want to ask if I can start UK work process
as an intern nurse because I'm doing my internship,I want to know if I can start the registration now and also write the CBT exam.thank you as I await your response.

Deejah20:
pls have you clarified.

Wait a minute, you mean you were not told "welcome to Canada"?


My friend, go back to that airport and demand your Welcome to Canada jọ

Correcting some miscommunication
1.......Omni college is only to integrate you to the nursing environment in Canada. It is not the school where you fo the "bridging" program. The program offered by omni is NOT a substitute for the bridging the college of nursing may request for. However, the program at Omni may help prepare you for the assessment test and generally improve your chances because you would have started getting used to the basic gadgets. Note that people have completed their credential process without Omni, so it is not a part of the process. Also I know people who have completed Omni's program and are currently in the actual bridging programs for their licensure.

2......BScn graduates are not necessarily "good to go". You still have to do the OSCE and your performance at the OSCe is what determines how many courses would be required to bridge the educational gap. You only skip the OSCE assessment if your report from NNAS says "comparable to canadian education". I am yet to see a Nigerian graduate with such an assessment report from NNAS.

3.....For express entry, "the mind of them dey rush us" DOES NOT APPLY. express entry is not focused on you practicing as a nurse but it is STRICTLY AN IMMIGRATION PROCESS. Having a BSN as opposed to a Diploma is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT to the process. A RN/RM Diploma holder may stand a better chance than a straight BScN. Except the BN holder can find a way to assess each component of their degrees separately (some people in the thread have been successful).
4........"remember Rn can't work as Rn there, u work as lpn there(until u upgrade yaa academics)"
The above statement is NOT TRUE. Although Canada's RN are Bachelor degree holders, there have also been cases of diploma nurses who scaled through the RN licensure process.

In conclusion, the Canadian licensure process is not a "one size fits all" kind of process. Until you start the process, you can not tell how long it would take you or whether or not your degree would scale through. It does help to have a BSN but having a BSN doesnt also mean that you would have it easy and fast. If you really want to practice in Canada, all you can do is to start the process and give your assessment OSCE your best shot (ie if NNAS gives you a report stating "noncomparable or somewhat comparable".

Canadian licensure is in 2 steps.
1.....getting to canada as a landed immigrant (study or permanent resident)
2......the licensure process.
Ensure you have a plan to be successful at both before you commit to it. Else just go to the States or uk or some other place.

I feel so down, am thinking of going with ICES for a favourable two or more certificate. Please anyone that has evaluated their RN and RM, please help me, I need a way forward. Thanks

Deejah20:
Pls is it the same thing for registered midwives cos am in my last year of midwifery and I want to go to u.k when am done.
So is there any program for midwives also.
Anyone who knows about it should pls reply. Thanks in advance.

BEEJAY452:
can you please list the several paperwork that are required by the Canadian board of Nursing?

Besides, some have said it on this platform that no matter the university we graduated from and the grade, that we do not meet the Canadian Nursing requirements and that, it is a must for BNSc from Nigeria to do a year or 3months program and passed before one can be qualified to write the Canadian NCLEX or CRNE. please how do you allign this or what's your opinion on this?

ExpressEntry:
Hey Guys,

It's really nice having a place like this to learn from people's experiences and also be inspired by success stories.

Thought this may be encouraging to someone; we just crossed our 1st hurdle of IELTS at 1st attempt and we're grateful to God.

Me (accompanying Spouse)
L 7 R 7 W 6.5 S 7

PA
L 9 R 9 W 7.5 S 7.5

Will be back to share our milestones as we expect ECA from WES as soon as things are a bit calm with COVID and our institutions send verification.

It's such a great joy and I'm grateful to everyone sharing good vibes here and very importantly to my intelligent Wife who gave it her best shot despite her very busy schedules.

PS
For the egocentric African men, pls let your Wife be the PA if she stands a better chance in English and other areas that matter to your CRS points.

bivoprad:

Missybeee:
thanks @bluebeard for the response. I finished my RN 2016 and I have been practicing since then. Although I just acquire my BnSC this year...... please, where does that leave me

Missybeee:
Good day. I am a RN and BnSC but no specialty which makes me a general nurse. I want to start my processing to Dubai as a registered nurse but my question is, do I have to specialize here in Nigeria which will take atleast a year or am ok with my RN and BnSC certificates alone. I really want to start processing my migration. Please help

phockallmods:
You are extremely foolish and stupid. No one owes you anything in this life. Search for information if you need. I'm not s nurse but anybody who replies you positively is nut. What a nauseating post. Tueh
