   Efg1990, Are they asking you to do the IEN bridge again because of the hours (vs the 5 year thing)? Also, I'm on the west coast so it could be totally different (another problem with the system), but...

2. NNAS experience?

   nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

   I also did a 2nd degree accelerated BSN and I sent ALL of my transcripts, to cover my bases. I would think that the state BONs would be responsive about forwarding licensing verification, since...

   nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

5. NNAS experience?

   nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

   This is the first I've heard of ARNAP for AB. I know BC switched from SEC to NCAS earlier in 2017. Both Alberta and Ontario's assessments are offered through Touchstone right? Are they essentially the...

7. NNAS & CRNBC - Useful information and commentary for U.S.-educated RN's and IEN's

   nicu_gal replied to sorensic's topic in Canada

   Hi, As @dishes knows, I have posted in other NNAS-related threads but I just came across this one for the first time. As a US-IEN now licensed in BC I just wanted to add that BC is no longer using...

8. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

   nicu_gal replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

   Have we encountered any applicants who have appealed the NNAS decision? My impression has been that (regardless of the Advisory Report determination) applicants are still moving to the Colleges upon...

    nicu_gal replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    I am the individual who wrote about the employer letter being rejected. I provided my manager with a self-addressed stamped envelope paper clipped to the form that she had to complete by hand. I did...

    nicu_gal replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    Oh, and as an aside CRNBC just changed their equivalency testing from SEC to NCAS in Jan 2017. Being a NICU nurse, I REALLY thought I would have to do it (but happy to have avoided it). Competency...

12. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

    nicu_gal replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    @RN_Pro , I wonder what would have happened if you were applying in BC... Given that we are both Canadians with US (BSN) education and work experience we should have the same outcome, no? Do you think...

    nicu_gal replied to abbyg13's topic in Nurse Registration
