My report said 9% comparable as they couldn’t put my BSCN or HDip details in so the board then reviewed all and issued their report with whatever competency gaps. Don’t give up...see what the nursing board says. I am now registered but it took nearly...

This company may be able to help you with the process of getting registered. I didn’t use them as I was too far along the process when I discovered them.https://care4nurses.org/

Hi there, congrats on the NCLEX results, I also passed the NCLEX RN on Jan 19! I have to irked as an RN in BMT since 2001 but due to moving from Ireland and UK to Canada I was unable to practice for the near 6 year process. I love working in BMT and ...
I used Saunders and UWorld. I did NCLEX this morning so still awaiting results. Computer stopped after 75 questions. I qualified as an RN in 1998 and worked until 2014 in staff nurse, nurse manager and CNS roles in haem onc. So I had to recap on a lo...
Be careful listening to audio recordings online. I was today and some were linked to inappropriate and unrelated websites and then as a result I may have had virus infect my phone. Just uploaded virus ware to deal with that....

If it’s been a while I would check with CNO if they received your English proficiency paperwork. I discovered after 5 months that I had to get my employer to resend what she had sent and it took another number of months to process (all in all about 1...

I was in a similar position regarding clinical practice, but luckily I could return to practice in my home country to meet the requirement. If you choose to stay in Canada, you will most likely have to do a full program with 400 clinical hours as par...

Very interesting article and pretty much correct! I am at the end of a application process thats taken 5.5yrs so far! IEN from Ireland but meeting the English Proficiency took some time. Practice hours were an issue as living in Canada since 2014 but...

Competency gaps identified by the CNO and thought I would have to do IENCAP so thought a physical assessment course would be beneficial for that. Didn't end up doing the IENCAP but found the physical assessment course very interesting and useful.

No, I didn't do it. I was able to meet the educational requirement. I did think I would have to do it, so I did a physical assessment on line course through George Brown College in Toronto and also went to a study day with HealthForce Ontario. There ...

Start the process with the NNAS as soon as you can from Kenya would be my advice as it will be easier to get all documents while you are there. I learnt the hard way as did it after I moved to Canada. NNAS process took about a year for me as a result...

I just received confirmation that I have met this requirement with the CNO. I just submitted letters and my own letter stating why I think I meet the requirement. Hope this is of some help. Best of luck!
