PH RN/ USRN to Canadian RN

Published

Hello Everyone!

I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines with 3 years of hospital experience. I'm currently unemployed but I'm spending my time reviewing for NCLEX US exam. However, I plan to go to Canada as student (IEN program 1 year). I would like to ask if I will become a USRN soon will my license be reciprocate or endorse to Canadian RN?

Will my license be reciprocate even if I don't have US experience?

Hoping that I could get some of your opinion or info :)

No it won't. Basically if you pass the NCLEX in the US, you still have to apply through the NNAS to transfer your license to Canada. It may just get you out of having to take the NCLEX for licensing in Canada. The process is long to get into Canada. I am in the US, and opened my NNAS account in February, fully submitted everything in August and am still waiting for my assessment. It's been 11 weeks.
