About Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Irah, a Canadian RN with over 19 years of experience across emergency forensic nursing, public health, rehabilitation, long-term care, and nursing education. I've worked with organizations including Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health and previously taught nursing with a focus on clinical judgment, leadership, and professional practice.
Through my work with internationally educated nurses, I saw that the challenge wasn't nursing knowledge. It was learning how to think, prioritize, communicate, and make decisions like a Canadian nurse. I also saw how many IENs were ending up in longer, more costly re-entry programs when the shorter bridging pathway was within reach with the right preparation.
That's why I created Nursing Collective: to give IENs quality education that is affordable and accessible, so more nurses can walk into their assessments prepared and give themselves the best chance at the shorter path to licensure in Canada.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. This workshop is a practice environment, not an introduction. You'll get the most from the day if you've already covered Canadian nursing frameworks and the SLA format through a structured prep program like our self-paced online prep course, group coaching, or another program outside of Nursing Collective.
-
Groups are kept intentionally small so every participant gets real feedback, not just observation time.

We can't guarantee specific assessment results—your placement depends on multiple factors including your credentials, experience, and assessment performance. IENs who prepare tend to perform significantly better than those who study on their own.
