Thanks in advance for the info!

No you are wrong. It's not every province. I believe it's only Ontario.

Wow! Thats totally news to me. For years I've been told that the BSN/BScN was the new standard across Canada. Guess I was told wrong. I went to the CNA website though and it does say: "Most provinces already require a baccalaureate in nursing (BN or BScN) to enter the profession."

I don't know about other Canadian provinces, but in Nova Scotia, the standard for entry to practice for new RNs has been a BScN/BN since 1995.
