Does anybody have any experience with NNAS? So far, I've read the site but it would be great to hear from people who have gone through the process :)

I don't know where to find this information, I wonder what information Healthforce Ontario gives during their OSCE preparation session for the IENCAP. Are you planning on attending a session?
CDN_US_educated_RN, have you watched the OSCE orientation video on touchstone institute's website?

Where in Iowa did you get your degree?
I also got my degree in Iowa... I, just like the others got a report saying "not comparable"
I don't even understand on what basis they are determining this and I too am curious to know or if anyone knows of a person that has had a report that's "comparable"
I felt if not comparable, it should have been "some what comparable" but to get a straight up "not comparable" unfair. And as others have posted, I agree that the education system of the United States is so so so similar to that of the Canadian regulatory bodies! It's ridiculous how this whole process is and its not even clear...and there is no one to answer questions or provide feedback! I can relate to the frustration!
I agree with you on everything you have said in your post! like is there ANYONE that has gotten a comparable report?? Or anyone out there that has had a report that has been not comparable but the regulatory body has approved and let them practice without these assessments and bridging courses??

I am done with my NNAS, Forwarded the application to CNO , they forwarded to to Touchstone on Sep 10 ...Till now waiting !! Still waiting as of now
Does this mean CNO advised you that you need to do the IENCAP/OSCE with Touchstone institute and you are waiting to find out when the next exam dates are? Have you signed up for Touchstone's newsletter? (the newsletter gives updates on exam dates).
In regards to preparing for the IENCAP, have you reviewed the IENCAP participant guide and watched the OSCE video available on Touchstone institute? Have you attended an orientation session through healthforceontario?

Hi Guys! I'll take NCLEX in 2weeks and i'm dying now... my uworld score is getting lower and idk why. i'm so frustrated but i should pass it!!
Yes ..CNO advised for it and forwarded my case to Touchstone. ..Till now , no reply from them.
If you have you signed up to receive Touchstone Institute's newsletter all you can do is wait until they have more exam dates available, then register to do the exam. There may be more than a hundred IENs who are waiting for more IENCAP exam dates to become available, if so, you should sign up as soon as you become aware of the dates. In the meantime how are you preparing for the exam?
Well for OSCE preparation , I have found following books and has ordered from Amazon. Let me see how they are once they arrive.
