Yes it is

Congratulations!

Hey RN_Pro How was your IENCAP?

Thank you so much. I'll remember these

I was under the impression that nurses trained in the US had almost identical education with nurses in Canada. It's shocking to hear most of you are being asked to undergo further assessment. All the best this week. Go and shine!

It was General. I'm torn between Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. May I ask which province you live in?

Yes I'm aware. I was trained as a General Nurse in Nigeria but I currently work in London. I have clinical and theory hours in Obstetrics + Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, etc.

You just might be surprised! You forget the part where I wrote that I moved to the UK not long after I qualified and I've been working as an RN here, after I met the requirements to register with NMC UK. It would be unfair for them to judge me solely on the training I got in Nigeria and disregard the fact that I have been deemed suitable to practise in the UK, and have been doing so for a couple of years. Surely the extra tutelage and experience I have gotten so far must count for something. Also, I do not intend to quit my job here and move to Canada until I'm sure I'm sorted. This is why I've been looking into information online. I'll make sure to apply early. Thanks

Oh that's refreshing! I must say I'm not UK trained though. I trained in Nigeria and then moved to London about 2 years afterwards when I got married. I joined NMC with the old ONP system. I've just been doing some research on how to get registered in Canada as my family and I are looking to move there soon.

Ok that's great. Initially I was wondering if Jordanelaurel's experience gave her an edge in getting the 'comparable' report since she's Adult trained. So far hers is the only positive report i've heard about from UK trained nurses.

Do you have any idea why they request employment history from applicants then?

Hi Jordanelaurel May I ask when you qualified in the UK? And how much work experience you had prior to applying to NNAS last year?

No I trained in Nigeria. I did the ONP when I moved here. I would really love to know how your assessment goes. Cos I reckon I'd be judged with my first line training when I apply which is more in line with Canadian syllabi. Or I may be wrong. Please keep me posted. How can we get in touch? Are you in Nigeria?

Hi Mercykay, I'm also looking at Ontario. Have you applied to NNAS yet?

Could you please share how the process was for you? I'm looking to apply soon, after I take IELTS. I trained in Nigeria but I live and work as an RN in the UK now. How did your Nigerian General Nurse Training compare with the Canadian one?
