Hi every one out there!!!!

an any one guide me in relation to registration in CARNA, Canada.

I have applied for registration in CARNA,Canada.In form there was an option about clearence of NCLEX,i ticked it yes as i have done so through New Mexico.

CARNA is demanding for verification of my result.On visiting the NM BON site i found out on thier form this..........

LICENSE VERIFICATION REQUEST FORM

PLEASE FILL OUT VERIFICATION FORM BELOW AND MAIL OR FAX TO

THE NEW MEXICO BOARD OF NURSING THIS IS THE ONLY FORM NEEDED FOR VERIFICATION TO CGFNS AND FOR ADVANCED PRACTICE

AS OF NOVEMBER 1

ST

, 2006

THE NEW MEXICO BOARD ON NURSING WILL START CHARGING A $30.00 FEE FOR VERIFICATION OF LICENSURE. WE ONLY VERIFY TO CGFNS AND FOR ADVANCED PRACTICE LICENSURE.

WE DO NOT VERIFY RN/LPN LICENSURE TO OTHER BOARDS OF NURSING OR TO PRIVATE ENTITIES. YOU MUST GO THROUGH OUR NATIONAL COUNCIL AT WWW.NURSYS.COM

What does this means...........is that they r not going to verify to international BON that is CARNA.

Or i have opened a wrong form!!!!!!

Please help me on that!!!!!!

Waiting for reply

Are you working in New Mexico? Do you want to be licensed in Canada just as a back up or do you intend to go back to Canada? What province do you want to get licensed in? Or registration as they call it in Canada. I did apply for registration in BC when I graduated from nursing school in April 2006 but have not made it to Canada to take the exam since it is only offered 3 times a year. I cant convince my husband to go to Canada October or February due to the weather and ideally we would like to vacation in July and the only other time the exam is offered is in June. Sure wish they would follow the process as in the US. It is definitely preferable. I have heard the exam in Canada is not necessarily hard but definitely it is harder to take a 8 hour exam and wait 3 months for your results. I took the LPN exam in Canada and it is similar to the RN exam and a lot of hoops to jump through for sure with lots of fees. I went to school in Washington State but am currently in Arizona and in the green card process now which complicates traveling to Canada and taking the exam etc... so have not done it yet and will need to do it soon otherwise my application might be closed. In Washington I had no trouble getting my license verified. Just be warned the education verfication process is lengthy. I think it took about 6 months. I would in your case contact the state board directly as they would best be able to answer your question as far as the verification of a licence goes. Good luck.
