Hello, This is my situation. I graduated in 2009 with my B.S.N. in the United States. I passed my NCLEX and have an active license. Due to life circumstances I did not work in the the hospital but became a full time caregiver for a family member who needed 24/7 care. My family member has passed and I would like to return to acute care. Now in 2020 I am living in B.C. I am a Canadian citizen and resident. I am needing assistance in how to proceed. Any advice would help. Thank you very much! In order to apply for a nurse refresher program I need permission from the CRBNC because of the time lapse since I finished school. I am planning on writing a letter immediately. Also any advice on the nurse refresher programs in the Vancouver area and chance of getting in? I have researched the process that an international RN takes to receive their B.C. license but I guess I am thinking that I should ask for permission first because if I get rejected then the long process may be very difficult. Hopeful and hoping for suggestions! Thank you
