This thread is intended to keep record of Internationally Educated Nurses' NNAS Advisory Report Results (nurses applying for license in Canada). It will help us all to know what the different outcomes have been and what direction was recommended by licensing bodies-- that we can determine whether there is consistency and so others can prepare for what might be required of them.
If you have begun or completed the NNAS process, please comment here and indicate:
1) Where you obtained your nursing education and type of education
2) What your NNAS Advisory Report stated (non-comparable, somewhat comparable, comparable)
3) Which provincial licensing body/bodies you have applied to
4) Whether you have evidence of safe practice in the past 3 years
5) What the provincial body directed you to do next (after your NNAS Advisory Report was issued)
6) Any final conclusions/comments

I cant believe the Canadian Nursing System is so *** up. Since when USA educated nurses became less than Canadian Nurses. If I am not wrong Canada only adopted the NCLEX in 2015 and where did it came from? USA and now suddently someone with a BSN degree from the USA does not meet the requirements to take the same NCLEX exam in canada. Also, can someone explain to me why is the NNAS located in The USA? Canada did not have enough space or capable people to do the job here? The goverment or somone needs to do something about the NNAS.
