Hello, I just want to clarify this. I am applying in Canada as an RN and they need to verify of course my license in USA. I have two licenses, one from Texas and one from New Mexico but I am currently working in Texas and my nursing license in New Mexico is expired already (actually I didn't work there at all I just took the exam). Do I have to send licensing verification to New Mexico even though my license is expired? Will it be a problem if my license is expired? The packet said I have to verify my license "from all provinces, territories or countries where you have been, or still are, registered, licensed or certified as a nurse?" I just want to make sure because I don't want to waste money sending verification fees and of course I want to complete my documents.
And also, New Mexico's license verification states that "WE DO NOT VERIFY RN/LPN LICENSURE TO OTHER BOARDS OF NURSING OR TO PRIVATE ENTITIES. YOU MUST GO THROUGH THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF STATE BOARDS OF NURSING (NCSBN) AT WWW.NURSYS.COM" -- Well college of nursing in ONtario is considered board of nursing right?
but when I check
www.nursys.com is states:
Who is not eligible to use Nursys for License Verification?
If one or more of these statements apply, you may not use Nursys for license verification.
- You are applying for a license outside the United States or Territories?
Please contact the appropriate agency or authority for more information.
Tadah, College of Nursing in Ontario is outside the United States... Help me.
