For international nurses wanting to practice in Canada

[Luc Ramone]

Just bumped into this article. It makes so much sense. What do you guys think?

The Plight of Internationally Educated Nurses in Canada

Some if not most I agree with. The timeframe is too long and an answer even if comparable can be that you are out of the required nursing hours because of the delay or you have a certain period of time to get a certain amount of time and this doesn’t include the time and stress it can take to find a job. 
 

I do believe we need to promote something that is fair, appropriate and cost effective. I was fortunate to register before NNAS but even then it was a long process but for me it was worth it

Actually some advisory reports are just not right and there's no way to inquire about it. Vague and creates uncertainties.

Very interesting article and pretty much correct! I am at the end of a application process thats taken 5.5yrs so far! IEN from Ireland but meeting the English Proficiency took some time. Practice hours were an issue as living in Canada since 2014 but thankfully could fulfill by returning to Ireland to practice. NCLEX next month (final requirement)

I sat NCLEX RN and passed. Glad to say a process of nearly 6 years has come to an end.

My report said 9% comparable as they couldn’t put my BSCN or HDip details in so the board then reviewed all and issued their report with whatever competency gaps. Don’t give up...see what the nursing board says. I am now registered but it took nearly 6 years.
