Question: I was a Registered, professional nurse in my country, but now I live here in Canada. What can I do to work as a nurse in Canada?

Question: I was a Registered, professional nurse in my country, but now I live here in Canada. What can I do to work as a nurse in Canada?

Typically, Canada is fairly strict. It usually does not accept graduates from foreign nursing

schools, or allow foreign nurses to work at hospitals in Canada. Therefore, you will have to go

back to school, and graduate from Canadian university or college nursing program to work as a

nurse in British Columbia.

So what is the fastest way to get back to work?

If you already have a BA from a well established university in your country, and were a practicing,

professional Registered Nurse (or equivalent) at a professional hospital or nursing clinic in your

country, you have the option of going back to school in Vancouver.

You will do this to prepare for the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination. If you pass the

Registered Nurse Examination, you could be allowed to work as a nurse in Canada!

We recommend the Canadian RN Examination prep course at MTI Community College!

In addition to preparing you for the Canadian RN Examination, 8 out of 10 graduates find jobs. In

fact, many practicing nurses in clinic and hospitals around Vancouver have graduated from the

MTI Canadian RN Examination preparation course. Please contact Kim Okran for details!

 

Early Childhood Education at MTI

If you like working with, and educating young children, MTI also has a popular Early Childhood

Education course. The EC course is offered in all MTI Campuses and has a high employment

rate. In fact, it is so popular they have open new classrooms for enrolees each year! You might

want to consider, the 1­year General EC Course or the 2­year special needs course; this course

focuses on educating and helping Infants, Toddlers and Children with Special Needs.

 

Would you like to know more about MTI; and the Nursing or Early Childhood Education Courses?

What is it about tea parties that makes them so elegant?

What is it about tea parties that makes them so elegant?

Enjoy authentic British high tea in Vancouver!

 6ハイティー

High tea was made a thing of fashion in the 19th century by

  Anna, the Duchess of Bedford,

who served tea to her guests at 4pm each afternoon. It wasn’t meant as a replacement for dinner, but to wake people from their afternoon drowsiness and tie them over to dinner with snacks.

I recommend having high tea in Vancouver, at the following venues;

  1. La Petite Cuillère

  2. The Urban TeaMerchant

  3. Secret Garden TeaCompany

  4. Soirette

~バンクーバーでハイティーを楽しむの巻~

ハイティーとは?

19世紀に始まった文化で夕食前にお茶やスコーンやサンドイッチをたしなみ、

でもこれは夕食がわりではありません。

夕食前に小腹がすいたな~というときに食べる、間食みたいな感じです。

すこし贅沢にティータイムを楽しみたいかたはハイティーを楽しみませんか?

Whistler is awesome! And only takes 2 hours by bus to get there!

Where is Whistler ? Just take the bus from downtown Vancouver, and ride the “sea

What to do in Whistler?
Well, for one thing – the downtown is cute, and full of beautiful cafe’s and
restaurants with amazing mountain views! Be sure to visit the gift shops too!

短い休日でもショートトリップを楽しむ!

~ウィスラー編~

バンクーバーから車で2時間弱走らせたところにウィスラーがあり

1年間を通し観光客でにぎわいます。冬のバンクーバーオリンピック会場にもなり

冬も世界各国からボーダー、スキーヤーがあつまります!

お手軽にアクティビティもできて、低予算でホリデーを楽しめるのがポイント!

私は毎年夏にあそびに行って日帰り旅行を楽しんでいます。

ウィスラーでできるアクティビティで有名なのが

・バンジージャンプ

・ZIP TREK

・BEAR TREK

の3つ!この中だったらバンジーが人気なのですが私は極度のビビりなので

毎年パスしています笑 勇気のある人は絶対にやるべき!川の中に飛び込む感覚でスリル満点!

(やったことないけど友達がやっていたので友達の感想です)
