Definitely get your BSN. I’ve heard from others they will give u a not comparable result if you only have your ADN.

BC. And I guess like a police officer. We pay into it and so does the province and when we retire say... @ 55 you get about $1500-1800 a month for life. Not bad

My email is [email protected] if u have questions.

After submitting everything and getting the comparable report everything moved quickly. Getting my license took a few weeks and I wasn’t required to take any additional classes or education. I got a job before we moved and it was easy and seem less. No interview. Pay scale is great up here and having a union and municipal pension are awesome.

I sent hundreds of pages. I was able to contact an old classmate who had kept every course syllabus, and then the course description book provided by the school which detailed every course. The more detail the better.

I did. NNAS gave me a "comparable" report, and I have already been talking with Interior Health, while I wait to get my license in British Columbia. I am just waiting on my home state to send license verification and then we are almost ready to move.

I did! I finally got my NNAS report back a few months ago, and got "comparable". Ive applied to the BC board and they needed re-verification from the California board. That was sent off by Ca March.20th so they should receive it any day. The lady I spoke with in BC said after they receive that, I should get my license, as its extremely unlikely for a US educated nurse to need to do an in person simulation/exam. Ive paid all the fees and am just waiting. We plan to leave as soon as I can find a job in the area we want to move too, hopefully in June.

Tons... I graduated in San Diego, and moved to Riverside County for a new grad job. I moved to Temecula but still had to commute an hour north to Corona. I also had a new grad offer in Hemet. Now that I have a few years experience, even after 6 months, I could easily get a job in San Diego. Many of my coworkers and old friends from my cohort did the same thing... started on the outskirts of San Diego, and now are working for Scripts, Sharp, Kaiser and UCSD

SO I have so many questions. I got my advisory report back Jan.30th. It is comparable across the board. I applied to BC, did the Jurisprudence exam, paid the $115 Canadian. I was sent an email an hour later, saying Ive been waived from having to prove English as my first language. I logged on today, and it is asking for more money. This time $488 Canadian for their "International RN assessment fee Part 2". After paying this it says they will have a decision in 10 weeks and they will contact me if they need more information. Have you heard of this fee? More importantly have you heard of any US trained/educated nurses needing to complete any more assessments? I have already taken the Nclex, and am in my 4th year of practice, with long histories with both my hospitals. I work both oncology and critical care. thanks for any info!

I got COMPARABLE!!!! May report just came back tonight, and it is COMPARABLE! Im beyond shocked and so happy. I attended a "for profit" ADN program here in the US and bridged to a RN-BSN"for profit" school after beginning working. My work history includes New Grad in PCU for 1.5 years, 1.5 years in Medical Oncology and 1 year per diem (casual) in PCU. Ive been a practicing RN for 3 years now, passing my boards Dec.31 2015. Although I deem my experience and education comparable, I did not, IN MY WILDEST DREAMS think the NNAS would agree. next up is applying to the BRNBC and looking for a job! IM SO EXCITED!! I opened my application in February 2017 and from start to finish it took almost a year. My documents were complete in August 2017, and began review in October. Final review began early January, and my report was posted yesterday!

I do have a four year degree (BSN). I know its fairly similar because my sister did the RN program in Canada and we have compared a lot. Obviously there will be some differences. But my point was its probably not as different than say a nursing degree from India, Italy, or Philippines.

Hello, I applied through the NNAS earlier this year. my application was "complete" and under review mid August. It has now been 11 weeks since that status changed. NNAS says it takes usually 8-10 weeks to review. and in last talking to them (yesterday) they said that once it is reviewed, an advisory report must be made. but that they do not have a time frame for how long it takes to issue the advisory report. My question is how long has it taken to receive an advisory report from those who have applied through NNAS? I am applying to BC, and am also wondering what current turn around times are to receive your license, assuming a comparable, or some-what comparable report is given. I am a US educated RN working in the states for the last 3 years, but from Canada... I just want to go home

No it won't. Basically if you pass the NCLEX in the US, you still have to apply through the NNAS to transfer your license to Canada. It may just get you out of having to take the NCLEX for licensing in Canada. The process is long to get into Canada. I am in the US, and opened my NNAS account in February, fully submitted everything in August and am still waiting for my assessment. It's been 11 weeks.
