Hello, I applied through the NNAS earlier this year. my application was "complete" and under review mid August. It has now been 11 weeks since that status changed. NNAS says it takes usually 8-10 weeks to review. and in last talking to them (yesterday) they said that once it is reviewed, an advisory report must be made. but that they do not have a time frame for how long it takes to issue the advisory report. My question is how long has it taken to receive an advisory report from those who have applied through NNAS? I am applying to BC, and am also wondering what current turn around times are to receive your license, assuming a comparable, or some-what comparable report is given. I am a US educated RN working in the states for the last 3 years, but from Canada... I just want to go home

I got COMPARABLE!!!! May report just came back tonight, and it is COMPARABLE! Im beyond shocked and so happy.
I attended a "for profit" ADN program here in the US and bridged to a RN-BSN"for profit" school after beginning working. My work history includes New Grad in PCU for 1.5 years, 1.5 years in Medical Oncology and 1 year per diem (casual) in PCU. Ive been a practicing RN for 3 years now, passing my boards Dec.31 2015. Although I deem my experience and education comparable, I did not, IN MY WILDEST DREAMS think the NNAS would agree.
next up is applying to the BRNBC and looking for a job! IM SO EXCITED!!
I opened my application in February 2017 and from start to finish it took almost a year. My documents were complete in August 2017, and began review in October. Final review began early January, and my report was posted yesterday!
