   CGFNS VisaScreen/NCLEX-RN through Minnesota BON

   Seona replied to Elaine_ERNurse's topic in Registration

   If MN didn't ask you for CES in the first place (RN by exam), they won't ask you it further either. However, if you try to endorse to other states, then it's up to those BON. (e.g. NY used CVS, not CES.) Anyway, if you are Canadian, TN visa is e...

   Needing advice please

   Seona replied to oz-nurse's topic in Immigration

   You don't need to have a Canadian license if your intention is to US. NNAS process is under CGFNS service, but it's more expensive and not worth trying unless you want to work in Canada. (very picky to foreign educated nurses) You may apply for any s...

    Endorsement of License from USA to Canada

    Seona replied to Catherine Antony's topic in Canada

    First of all, Canada is not a part of US territories, even though they are neighbouring, like Mexico, so it is impossible to endorse a state nursing board RN license to any Canadian nursing board (College of RN in province, in Canada), no matter what...
