Hi Sir Paul. Thank you for this informative video. I would like to ask a personal question sir if you don’t mind. 😅 why did you choose Canada sir over US if you already passed the NY NCLEX? 😃

[@PaulRN]

@@enaidnirac hello! It is because permanent resident ako dito sa Canada. I’m not closing any doors to any opportunity in the US sa future since may existing license ako in New York. 😁

Hi Paul! Tysm for this helpful vid! I’m from the Philippines & scheduled to take the NCLEX-RN under NYSED, too. Since I’ve considered taking the student path, I’ve had my education evaluated by WES. The result was it’s equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in California (though my plans have changed and now thinking of going to Ontario instead). Wala kasi akong nursing experience after graduating in 2019. Can I just ask bakit dalawa yung inapply mo, 🇨🇦 RN and RPN? Like hindi ba pwede derecho RN na yung endorsement from NYSED to 🇨🇦 if US NCLEX-RN passer ka na, or may difference ba sila? Also, do you think it’s also possible to apply for Express Entry kahit walang nursing experience as an RN here in PH but say for example, US NCLEX-RN passer na? Sorry, ang haba but I hope you can help me understand. Thank you and congrats on your journey! 💕

[@PaulRN]

I applied for RPN para if I ever fail NCLEX or hindi agad pumasa, at least meron akong fall back. You can directly apply for RN. Applying for RPN is not a pre-requisite. Express Entry, you need work exp. Score system ang EE. The more work exp you have, the more points you get. You need to work as RN muna for your safe practice. If may license ka sa Ph, work as RN dyan.

Thanks

[@PaulRN]

@@ghielm-brusas2041 you have ATT (I assume you have na) Start reviewing then book your exam day once you are ready (as I am not sure if the extended version of ATT is still applicable). Forget about AB. Proceed with ON. I had an AB Application too and it was a waste of money. Since I have an existing ON RN license with more than 1125 Canadian work hours, I can easily endorse my ON RN license to AB. (:

Thanks! Long process pero sobrang worth it. If Canadian RN (with NCLEX RN) ka, you CAN work in the US too. You can experience the best of both worlds. Note: there are Canadian RNs who made it without NCLEX RN. These RNs cannot work in the US yet as they need to pass NCLEX RN first. Meron din mga Canadian RNs like me who passed NCLEX RN which makes me eligible to work in the US and Canada.

Hi Paul. Thank you for making this vlog, sobrang dami ng info for those planning to start their diy application like me. I have a question, shoud I register first with NNAS or start gathering required documents na muna? I am here in Ontario now. Ang hirap kasi kumuha ng documents sa pinas esp now na pandemic. Thanks for your insights.

[@PaulRN]

Hello Glenda! I appreciate the kind words. 😄 You can collect muna yung mga required documents before registering with NNAS. I suggest you download the NNAS handbook here: www.nnas.ca/applicant-handbook/ Or, pwede ka rin naman mag register na with NNAS while collecting the requirements. However, you need to understand na 1 year lang ang validity ng NNAS at dapat ma-submit mo lahat ng requirements bago mag expire. When I had my NNAS, my AR or Advisory Report wad issued after 16 weeks. Ang “standard” time frame ng NNAS ay 12 weeks pero parang hindi nila nasusunod yun at lagi medyo delay ang pag issue nila ng AR. AR: ito yung magsasabi kung Comparable/Somewhat Comparable/Not Comparable yung education mo against sa Canadian nursing education standards.

Hey! You can proceed with NNAS without IELTS. However, only Ontario (CNO), British Columbia (BCCNM), and New Brunswick (NANB) are the only regulatory bodies to waive the language requirement during NNAS then you will have to fulfill the requirements post NNAS. On the other hand, the remaining provinces will not let you waive the language requirement during NNAS phase. No IELTS/CELBAN = No Advisory Report.

Or would you recommend waiting the NYSED results and take the NCLEX- US first before starting NNAS? Should I register for LPN or RPN? RN is given. Im little bit confused with RPN and LPN. Mostly they say RPN but if we go through the definition its Registered Psychiatric Nursing. And LPN is the practical nursing..which is which?Please enlighten me. TIA.

Can you not get the att from ontario?(coz i think its cheaper with Ontario, im not sure) 2. You mentioned you live in alberta, and your license is in ontario, do you have to work in ontario first before you can transfer your license? Thank you and all the best :)

[@PaulRN]

Late reply. Ngayon ko lang na-notice questions mo. Let me answer. 1. I can’t get an ATT from ON kasi Not Comparable ang NNAS ko for RN assessment. That means, I need to do bridging if gusto ko mabigyan ng ATT from CNO/Ontario. NCLEX-RN application in NY BON is less than 15k pesos only DIY (at least during nun time ko last year 2021) 2. Yup. My license is valid in Ontario ONLY. I moved to Ontario and now working as RN. If gusto ko mag work as RN in Alberta, I need to apply for a license via Out Of Province RN and meet the 1,125 Canadian RN hours. 🙆🏻‍♂️

Should you pass your CPNRE, this will not let you in any way to take the NCLEX-RN. LPN and RN are two different disciplines. You need to do bridging and get the authorization to test from the college of RNs to write the NCLEX RN.

Hello! Excellent plan ang mag NCLEX before landing here in Canada. Passing NCLEX RN is a big step towards your Canadian RN dream. Any US state will do. Process NNAS a month or two before you go here sa Canada. Or, ASAP as long as sure kayo na magkaka visa to enter Canada.

[@catheique]

Hi Nurse Paul, what if USRN na, need to transfer na lang to Canada, need pa ba mag take ng mga Jurisprudence etc? Thank you

[@PaulRN]

Yes. Depends sa province na gusto mo applyan (:

[@nikkimargaja1168]

May tanong po ako sir Paul, may advisory report n po ako. Pde ko nb un i send sa regulatory board? Wala po bang expiration? Kasi po hndi pa ako PR .. bka maapektuhan PR processing ko once ma RN? Hndi po buh?

[@PaulRN]

Yup pwede mo na send. If ever, yung work permit mo na lang magiging pending while waiting for your PR. (:

Hi sir Paul, currently working here in UAE as RN which agency po kau nag apply for express entry and how long was the process ? Meron aq nakikitang agencies online kaso hesitant aq to try kasi dami kwento ng iba na they’ve spent thousands sa mga agency yet bogus. So wanted to make sure na sana d aq maloko sa aapplyan q. Appreciate much your response 😊

[@PaulRN]

I hired a consultant when I applied for EE. That was in the Ph pa. Unfortunately, they stopped their operation in 2020 due to covid.

[@krizamosuela2887]

Hi pwede po magtanong, magstart po sana ako ng NNAS. Hindi ko po kasi alam kung anong ilalagay kong Nursing Group at Province? Registered Nurse po ako sa Pinas. I have a job offer as personal care worker, at may condition po sa offer na I need to get a CCA certification within 3 years of hire. Tapos para po ba makakuha ng CCA certification need ko po ba ng NNAS? Nova Scotia po pala ako nag apply ng PCW.

[@PaulRN]

Accomplish your NNAS ASAP and take your NCLEX ASAP too. For nursing group, you can choose Practical Nurse and/or Registered Nurse. Depends on your goal.

[@kkkkkkkkkkkk7391]

Pwede po ba mag take muna ng NCLEX NY state bago mag pa access sa NNAS?

Yes. Or why not pag sabayin mo para tipid sa time (:

Hi Paul, graduate ako ng BSN sa Pinas but wala ako license kasi nagpunta na Kami sa Canada non, eligible ba ako magtake nv NCLEX sa New York.? Thank you.

[@PaulRN]

Apply for Eligibility. NYBON lang makakasagot ng tanong mo. Send the required documents and wait for the result.

[@sungkyung5801]

hello sir, I ill be a fresh graduate on MAY 2023 and will be taking my PNLE boards on November. will I also be eligible to apply for RN in Canada, even though I have no work experience yet, just being a PH RN? and will the PRC release my needed requirements even without serving in PH after graduation?

[@PaulRN]

For Canada, you need work experience. You need it for Safe Practice. 😊

[@leaazucena1636]

Hi. Kung newly graduate pa lang. No experience and not even RN in our home country. In this cases bridging program lang ba ang other option? Btw I am PR here in Canada

[@PaulRN]

Hello. Start with NNAS. That’s the first thing you need to do para ma determine kung comparable or not comparable yung nursing education mo sa Ph sa nursing education sa Canada. Kapag ang result ng NNAS mo ay comparable, no need for you to do bridging. Pero kung not comparable ang result ng NNAS mo then mag bi-bridging ka. Kung NCLEX-RN passer ka naman, kahit hindi comparable ang nursing education mo, no need to study/brdiging pero sa College of Nurses of Ontario lang ito applicable. You can take NCLEX-RN sa board of nursing ng New York kahit di ka PhRN. Marami DIY video here sa youtube on how to do it.

[@karenjoycecabigting3915]

Hi Paul, Kamusta po? sorry to bother you pero ask ko lang po sana sa pag apply po sa NNAS need po ng Nursing education details from University po? nakakuha ka po ba sa Fatima? from Fatima din po kasi ako. What if nagdecide magstudent pathway at the same time nagstart magprocess ng NCLEX at sa CA mag exam possible po ba yun? Thank you po in advance super informative ng video mo isa palang napapanood ko ha...

[@PaulRN]

Yes nakakuha ako ng docs from Fatima. Course syllabus and course description. You can apply for eligibility and take NCLEX in Canada.

Yes! Pwede ka mag NCLEX sa pinas. Pwede mag NCLEX anywhere in the world as long as may testing center. Meron testing center sa Makati 😀 Nagpa assess din ako ng educ credentials ko WES and 2 years din ang result.

Hi. I passed nclex rn exam and have my Texas RN license. I have educational gaps with CNO. Could you please tell me how I can get my US NCLEX result sent to CNO? Does CNO accept license endorsement from US?

[@PaulRN]

Hey. Endorse your license from Texas to CNO. I don’t know how to do it because my license is from NY. Contact you BON and ask them to send it to CNO. CNO accepts any US license. Your educ gaps will be MET, ONLY if your NCLEX was taken April 1, 2013 onwards.

Nag agency kami dto kaso di ako makausad dahil wala pa ko n ielts.gusto ko sana mag DIY kaso d ko alm paano simulan. Naka received nko last yr ng result ng WES 3yrs ata katumbas ng 4yrs schooling ko. Natatakot ako sa IELTS po. Baka may iba pang way para makapunta po sa canada.

[@PaulRN]

@@FrustratedYTVlogger hey! I am not sure kung ano entry mo dito sa Canada. If Express Entry ang plan mo, wala ka choice but to take IELTS - General. Kapag may a-apply ka na ng license mo dito sa Canada, you need to take IELTS - Academic or CELBAN. If Ontario ka mag apply no need for IELTS, you send proof of language prof instead. I created a video you can check it. If mag student ka, pwede ka makapunta dito without IELTS kasi may mga school na nag a-accept kahit wala IELTS. But then again, you need IELTS if mag apply ka na ng RN license mo and you need IELTS if mag apply ka na ng PR (Permanent Residency) mo. In short, wala ka kawala sa IELTS. We speak english in Canada.

Hi Paul, can a person can apply as RN and PRN in Canada even those individusls are in the Philippines resided let say he/she is NCLEX paaser?

NCLEX is not enough. NCLEX is only one of the MANY requirements. You need an actual Canadian RN license. On top of that, the applicant needs an authorization to work here in Canada.

The regulatory body that you apply to will determine how long the Advisory Report is valid. Usually, it is valid for two years. NNAS will keep your Advisory Report in your online account for one year from the date it is issued. www.nnas.ca/faqs/

[@horrifyyou]

Hi Paul, I was reading your replies in the comment section about Safe Practice. Is it for PHRN without related work experience? Once macomplete po ito, equivalent na po ba ito as RN with experience? In my case, I was PHRN way back 2011, but worked in BPO for 5 years. Moved to Japan and working as licensed health care worker. Do you think I can apply for NNAS?

[@PaulRN]

You can apply for NNAS. However, I am not sure if your most recent work experience in Japan (I assume this is your most recent work exp) will qualify as RN work exp. If you are a Registered Nurse in Japan, you can use it for safe practice, if hindi ka RN in Japan, go back home to the Ph and work as RN to update your safe practice.
