IE Psych Nurse questions

P0ssibility of Internationally educated psych nurse working in Canada

Published

Hello,

I am a Irish trained psych nurse looking to move to Canada. I have investigated the process and am aware you need to contact the NNAS and then relevant province's nursing association. Looking through the application process I see mentioned that there is a need to have 225 hours of general nursing in my training.  The only general nursing I current have is as a supernumerary student nurse which I doubt is suitable.  There is a possibility I could do a one year course in Childrens Nursing, would Childrens nursing fill the hour gap.  Or can I do the 225 General nursing hours in Canada?
