Re: NEED HELP! Nurse with Eligibility in Canada
Canada doesn't have reciprocity exactly. It is possible to become licensed in more than one province once you've passed the CRNE. But... BIG but... you still have to meet the province's requirements fro registration. Each province looks at things from their own perspectives and some provinces have tougher requirements than others. Just because you're eligible to write the CRNE and obtain registration in Nova Scotia doesn't automatically mean you'll be eligible in
New Brunswick. And even if an IEN has been registered in one province it doesn't always follow that they could be registered in another. You still have to go through the new province's registration process and have your credentials assessed,
pay the fees and all the rest. Even nurses who were educated in Canada who are life-long Canadian citizens have to undergo the credentials assessment, pay the fees, do the waiting and all the rest. It makes no financial sense to have multiple registration applications pending. You can't just throw a dart at the map and pick a place to live and work that way. These decisions are immense and the repercussions of making the wrong choice are monumental. Make sure you know what you're doing.
