How to apply NCLEX for the Canadian RN?

I'm also a Canadian RN and will be taking the NCLEX on October 17th. I applied through Minnesota - had to fill out an application, have the RNABC send confirmation of registration and then register with Pearson for the test. I'm also working with CGFNS which I understand I will need in order to get the TN Visa. Hope that helps

Yes, you can go to the Minnesota Nursing Board's website and download the forms. I sent mine in, had to have the RNABC send confirmation of registration to them and then registered with Pearson. I had my ATT in less than 2 weeks. CGFNS was a bit more involved as they will have your nursing school complete forms as well. You can apply to them anytime - even before you have your ATT. It's probably a good idea as the documentation they require is more time consuming - you have up to one year to complete everything needed - including passing the NCLEX. Once that is all done, with an employer's letter you should be able to get your TN visa. I'll let you know more after I take the NCLEX in two weeks!
