Hello, I am a Irish trained psych nurse looking to move to Canada. I have investigated the process and am aware you need to contact the NNAS and then relevant province's nursing association. Looking through the application process I see mentioned that there is a need to have 225 hours of general nursing in my training. The only general nursing I current have is as a supernumerary student nurse which I doubt is suitable. There is a possibility I could do a one year course in Childrens Nursing, would Childrens nursing fill the hour gap. Or can I do the 225 General nursing hours in Canada?

Looking through the application process I see mentioned that there a need to have 225 hours of general nursing in my training. I have 140 hours. This appears to disqualify me. Is it possible to make up those hours in Canada or am I out of luck? Have any other nurses experience this issue?
