“I completed my SLA on Sunday February 8th and wanted to let you know that you’re doing an excellent job. Your explanations were more detailed than the actual SLA standards, which made it extremely easy for me to approach the exam with a clear idea of what to expect.”

“…I had no recent hospital experience and had not worked as a nurse for almost 16 years, so [studying for the CBA and SLA] felt overwhelming… I decided to enroll… the six-week group coaching sessions and course materials helped refresh my knowledge… and rebuild my confidence. The guidance made the CBA and SLA assessments feel manageable and realistic.

“…I had not practiced nursing for over 10 years… and I had already prepared myself… to go back to school for a full year… That’s why I was so surprised - and extremely happy - when I received my [BCCNM] decision letter stating that I only needed to complete [a few weeks of] bridging courses instead… Irah never allowed me to give up on myself. She pushed me, encouraged me and… helped me rebuild my confidence.”

What IENs Are Saying
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
"Being away from the hospital field for an extended period and having no prior experience as a Canadian nurse was a significant challenge. Irah provided exceptional support that helped me overcome my fears and gain the confidence to take both the CBA and SLA exams. Her courses were highly informative, comprehensive, and thoughtfully designed to ensure thorough preparation."

"I’m so happy and grateful I have you, Irah. I’m finally done with my SLA and I feel like I did great. Everything we went over during our coaching session helped. I felt so confident after I finished the first case scenario during the SLA until I finished all 5 scenarios. Thank you so much for all your guidance and patience. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me, I owe you a lot."

"The content was comprehensive and easy to understand, and Ms. Irah was excellent at explaining complex concepts. Many of the questions and situations presented in the course were very similar to what I encountered in the actual exam, which boosted my confidence and helped me perform my best."
