Most people ask the question "how to become a nurse" when they start planning their career path in high school. You may not be aware that there are three different types of nursing in Canada and each one has different education requirement ranging from college diploma to university degree. So when you try to explore how to become a nurse you must know the type of nurse you want to be. 1. First decide what kind of nurse you want to be. * registered nursing. A registered nurse can practice with clients of all age groups and with all types of health challenges of varying degrees of complexities. A registered nurse can practice in a variety of settings including the community, mental health settings and residential settings. Of the three types of nursing in Canada the registered nurse has the broadest scope of practice. * registered psychiatric nursing. A registered psychiatric nurse has a narrower scope of practice than a registered nurse and is restricted to practicing psychiatric nursing. That is they provide mental health nursing care to a wide variety of clients and in a wide variety of settings. Psychiatric nursing is not a recognized type of nursing in all of Canada. It is only recognized in the western provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia) * licensed practical nursing. The licensed practical nurse has the narrowest scope of practice of the three types of nursing. In some provinces a licensed practical nurse must work under the supervision of a registered nurse and in other provinces the scope of practice is restricted to working as an assistant to the registered nurse, and is some other provinces the licensed practical nurse is fully autonomous and does not require supervision although the scope of practice is narrower that for either of the registered nursing professions. While the scope of practice and types of clients will vary for each of these types of nursing they are all legally defined as part of the nursing profession. Which one of these descriptions appeals to you? Your choice may depend on your preference for future career paths as well as your preference for autonomous practice. More career options are provided by the registered nurse or registered psychiatric nurse designation. 2. Make sure you have the correct high school prerequisite http://www.teachingquran.com/

If you are planning on becoming an RN in Canada you have to get your BSN (4 year nursing degree from university).You will need to take the subjects you listed at the acedemic level.After you graduate you will have to find out what the prerequisites are for the nursing program that you want to get into are.Once you have completed them you can apply to the nursing program. You could also opt for a Practical nursing program which is 2 years of college.

In Canada many universities offer crossover nursing programs with a nearby college. I think most of it is done at the college and im not totally sure but i think you apply to the college. just go on a college or university website and find a program and theyll tell you the pre-reqs.
