Hi there, I still am waiting on the NNAS to review my paperwork (ie: transcripts and employment history) it was finally all received in October 2015 (after multiple documents getting lost and needing to be resent via post). I asked if they could give me a time-frame for when it is likely the report will be completed, and they stated 2 months. Unfortunately, it has been over three months and still have not heard anything. Until I receive the outcome of the report I do not know if I need to complete any further study. Which is unfortunate as I am moving in less than a month! So for now I guess I will have a break from nursing until hopefully it all comes through. Good Luck let me know if you have any tips.

Hi Antje I have looked online and there is an office in Adelaide South Australia(details copied in below). I think it is definitely worth going in to speak with someone in person. At least then they may be able to explain or offer suggestions on what you should do. If it was me I would call ahead and book and appointment.

Thanks for your reply. I am hoping it won't take that long but I'll guess we have to wait and see. Thanks for the tip about the college I'll try to email them( I'm hoping my 6 years of practical pediatric experienced will count) and see what they advice. Hopefully I can be the first to complete this process it certainly is a lot of money!

Hi Everyone, I'm just starting the exhausting process of trying to nurse in Canada BC. I am a nurse from Melbourne, Australia with 7 years experience majority being pediatric emergency. I was hoping that someone had recently migrated from Australia (or anyone familiar with the process) and would be able to point me in the right direction for the process. So far I have applied through NNAS, currently trying to fill out very confusing forms that may not be accepted as we have a different examination process that I am assuming is not recognised in BC. I understand I have to complete the NCLEX exam and get a visa. However, I don't think I am eligible for the exam until I am registered with CRNBC. Also unsure if i will need to complete any additional study as I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Emergency Nursing in addition to my Bachelor of Nursing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rachel
