actually, the CNO still has not decided whether or not they will allow this... i graduated with a diploma and was originally licensed in Ontario... i moved to Alberta this year and when i called the CNO in May to see if i could be relicensed in the future, if i gave up my Ontario license while in Alberta, i was advised to keep up my membership because they didn't know if they would be allowing it... even if you were licensed in Ontario prior to 2005, that doesn't mean they would allow you to be relicensed...
of course, the CNO is kind of waffling on their January 2005 deadline now, because i think it's starting to dawn on them that a crunch will follow... in the last year, i've seen a lot of different literature on their site extended dates for diploma nurses to write in 2005...
Newfoundland's system seems a lot better... the only way to get RN training in Newfoundland is to go through their degree programs, but they do accept college trained nurses from other provinces...
Just curious....
