Follow up from SEC assessment

This topic is not one that applies to Canadians and as such does not belong on the Canadian Forum. Nurses in BC who have been living and working there for years know almost nothing about SEC, if they've even heard of it. They cannot answer your questions. This thread is therefore moved to the International Forum, where, as per the red banner at the top of this forum's home page, it belongs.

SEC assesses educational preparation in ALL areas of nursing as compared ot the educational preparation received by nurses graduating from Canadian nursing schools. If your educational preparation is not substantially equivalent to that preparation and you want to be registered in a province using SEC, then you must meet requirements. As has been explained numerous times, nurses trained in Canada are generalists and can provide basic care across the lifespan. Nurses from other countries who have trained under specialist models often require some upgrading to meet Canadian requirements. Be prepared for a battle.
