  1. NNAS experience?

    nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    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...

  3. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal posted a topic in Canada

    If there are any other Canadian RNs out there who went to school in the US and have been licensed in the US, I would like to hear your NNAS experiences. Have you received a "non-comparable" report? If...

  4. NNAS experience?

    nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Only difference is, in Ontario it now costs $500 and in Alberta the exact same exam costs $1900. Whoa! í

  5. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I'm a US-educated RN who called CRNBC to ask about he fee schedule- even though English is obviously my first language and NNAS already documented English proficiency, I still had to pay CRNBC's Part...

  6. 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 experience?

    nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Nope, no survey request here

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

    nicu_gal replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    NNAS needs to specify what they're looking for, as the handbook does not dictate the type of envelope/stamp/seal/return address. In the meantime, hopefully prospective applicants can learn from the...

  11. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

    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...

  12. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

    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...

  13. 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...

  14. US IENs in Ontario, Canada

    nicu_gal replied to abbyg13's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hey dishes I have a question, If a current job description is considered by CNO to provide important information r/t competency, shouldn't that be something the NNAS application requires as part of...

  15. NNAS Advisory Report Results

    nicu_gal replied to RN_Pro's topic in Nurse Registration

    1) 2nd degree BSN, George Mason University, US 2) Comparable and somewhat comparable results 3) Registered as RN in BC within 2 weeks 4) Last worked in US August 2016 5) No equivalency testing...

  16. NNAS experience?

    nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I second this suggestion. I sent my educational materials via flash drive and included hundreds of pages of course information. Also, make sure you send everything requiring a receipt or signature...

  17. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I don't buy that 89% approval rating

  18. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Just checking in...I'm happy to report that as of last week I am now registered with CRNBC (yay!). For any other US-IENs who may happen to read this, I started my NNAS application in June 2016, it...

  19. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I'm really not sure what your point is? Ok..Canada has CCRNR, established 2011. USA has NCBSN, established 1978. They are both comprised of the boards/colleges of nursing. The regulation of nursing...

  20. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I apologize for using the word "incentive", as I did not mean to imply that anyone is profiting through this process; rather, I was trying say that I appreciate that there are costs associated with...

  21. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I introduced this topic because I have seen similar posts on other threads (i.e. Canadians who attended nursing programs in the US). And the way things are going down there, I'm probably not the only...

  22. CAN Citizen, US Educated - Deemed Comparable by NNAS, Rejected by CNO

    nicu_gal replied to azzurri13's topic in Nurse Registration

    Have you taken the NCLEX in Ontario yet? Have you received any more information from CNO regarding supplemental education? I am also in the midst of an NNAS application and having a difficult...

  23. NNAS experience?

    nicu_gal replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I have just started the NNAS process and I am beyond annoyed. As a Canadian with a US nursing degree, I would really like to know why I am communicating with a company in Philadelphia and paying them...

  24. NICU IPOCs

    nicu_gal posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi There, My unit just started using CareCompass and IPOCs in Cerner. The standardized IPOCs really don't apply to our population, and I am wondering if there are any nurses who can share how your...

  25. NICU IPOCs

    nicu_gal replied to nicu_gal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, it seems that the whole purpose for this Cerner "enhancement" was to make the job of JCAHO reviewers easier. But, as with other aspects of computerized charting, it's making my colleagues crazy...
