Calgary, 25 April 2023 - The Philippine Consulate General in Calgary
and the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA), in cooperation with the
Philippine Canadian Nurses Association (PCNA) and the Alberta Association of
Nurses (AAN), invite all interested Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses
(IENs) in Alberta to the online briefing on the New Streamlined Process
in Obtaining a Nursing Permit in Alberta to be held on 28 April 2023, Friday, at 5:00-6:30 PM
(Mountain Standard Time) via Zoom platform.
The online briefing will be beneficial to
Filipino IENs in Alberta who have already passed the National Council Licensure
Examination (NCLEX-RN) in the Philippines and who are looking for opportunities
to practice as full-fledged nurses in the province.
The Filipino IENs in Alberta who have not yet
taken the NCLEX-RN in the Philippines will have the option of taking NCLEX-RN
in Alberta without being required to undergo the costly credential assessment
process.
The CRNA also offers ways for the Filipino IENs
to meet the currency of practice requirement for registered nurses.

obtaining a nursing permit in Alberta by listening to the presentations of the
