2. Police check for IEN need help!!!!! please!!!

   Icelocababe posted a topic in International

   I am an USA trained IEN who passed all requirements to be licensed in Ontario. I just received a letter stating that the only missing component for my application is a "police check". I have been visiting Canada in and out for the past 2years, but I ...

3. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

   @dishes I can understand that all this is just a way to ensure public safety but really then why adopt the NCLEX? Why a Canadian new grad who passed the NCLEX is considered "better" than a n American new grad nurse who's passed the same test? I am 99...

   I'm sorry RN_pro if i am going to sound bitter and upset (which I actually am) but IT IS an immigration issue. Every time you say the word visa (B1, F1, TN, ...ect), you are talking immigration. Every time you leave your country and enter another one...

   This is an IMMIGRATION ISSUE... at least they are not being denied licensing and no road blocks are being put in place to stop them from getting a license just like anyone else...if a Canadian nurse was married to a US citizen , she/he would have had...

8. Any US trained RN-BSN registered as RPN in Ontario?

   Icelocababe replied to Icelocababe's topic in International

   If, after their education was assessed for equivalency to PN they had competency gaps, CNO directed them to complete a Competency Assessment Supplement (CAS), after the CNO approved their CAS, they were permitted to write the Canadian Practical Nursi...

   Icelocababe replied to Icelocababe's topic in International

   @dishes thank you for your reply! I have read somewhere that you could still be asked to go back to school after passing the test, reason why I was worried. I am still working as an RN in the US and not planning on quitting my job unless I get a clea...

10. Any US trained RN-BSN registered as RPN in Ontario?

    Icelocababe posted a topic in International

    I am a US trained RN-BSN who's education has been deemed "not comparable " to Canadian entry to practice nurses. I am taking the IENCAP/OSCE soon. I am sceptical that one exam can fulfill over 100 competency gaps that NNAS has identified so I am expl...

    Icelocababe replied to tjonathas21's topic in International

    @RN_PRO Thank you for all the tips. I called CNO and they said they have been sending out letters since December and that I should just wait because they are in the process of reviewing every application. No input on time frame. And honestly I really...

    @RN Pro you have no idea how delighted I am to read your post. I and my husband have gone through this matter several times trying to make sense of it; we have sent several letters to CNO asking for a reassessment of my application; called the NNAS s...

    I am going through EXACTLY the same situation if not worse. It took NNAS 11months to give us a report. By month #10 we had enough and started calling every week requesting a report be give. ASAP. I think at the end they just had enough and gave us a ...
