It was a big disappointment for everyone who was waiting for Canada to re-open its immigrant applications last July when they announced that they had postponed it to January 2013. Aside from this change of date, they also announced new changes were forthcoming. Here's the list of changes in FSW: 1.

If you are a nurse and you want to go somewhere in your career and earn more, all you have to do is do further studies and earn a certificate or degree on a special area in nursing. Sure, you can say that you don't have the time to do it what with all the jobs you're juggling, but the good news is that you can get your degree online! There are loads of schools and universities offering online

Many nurses who have trouble finding employers in the country they'd like to work in are opting to take the migration route. This way, once they arrive at the country of destination, it would be easier to find employers rather than applying from their home country. Although migrating is an easier choice, it still involves a lot of paperwork and documentation -- something not everyone is good

Every nurse around the world -- the ones who want to migrate to Canada, that is -- all eagerly anticipated the re-opening of applications last July 2011 by the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). And sure enough, the cap was reached in September 20, 2011 -- just shy of three months since July's opening. Compared to last year, where CIC accepted 1,000 applicants for each NOC category --

I would like to apologize for not keeping this Nursing blog updated regularly. I've been quite busy with work and other hobbies that I've left this one gather dust, figuratively speaking. Good news is that I have plans of writing all the information I've gathered from these couple of years working as a staff nurse. I do hope that you'll be visiting regularly for the updates as well.

How hard can it be to find a nursing job these days? Not hard at all! Sure, there's all this talk about the recession and people getting laid off from work. That's not happening in the field of healthcare especially in nursing.Even in these times, people still seek healthcare.

Education is an investment. As it is so, you should pick schools not only because it is within your budget but it is also a top performing school that will teach you all you need in the field you are pursuing.If you think that proper education is only for the rich then you're wrong. There are plenty of schools that offer scholarships to those students who are well deserving for it. Just check in

What is the Nurse Licensure Compact? It is an agreement between certain states that allows licensed nurses to practice legally in the participating states.Sounds great, huh? But it's not that simple.The NLCThe mutual recognition model of nurse licensure allows a nurse to have one license (in his or her state of residency) and to practice in other states (both physical and electronic), subject to

Before heading on to battle, you need to have the right weapons to increase your chances in winning. It would also be wiser to have a strategy in mind. Having the right weapons and the right plans on how to tackle the enemy, then you are sure to win every battle. The same goes when you take an exam, specifically, the IELTS.When you speak of IELTS, what comes first in your mind? Hmm..an English

We all know that foreign educated nurses or any job seeker hoping to work in another country needs to take a series of exams. Passing these exams are proof that an individual is worthy and capable of working in the country where he’s applying.One of the exams that should be passed is the IELTs. It is short for International English Language Testing System. The IELTS is a standardized exam that

For nurses who want to practice the profession in the United States of America, it is vital that they pass the NCLEX. Passing this exam will award a nurse a license so that she can legally practice in whichever state she applied in.U.S. educated nurses can easily apply and take the exam right after graduation. For foreign educated nurses, the story is different. They still need to undergo
