Thank you for your advise NotReady4PrimeTime. So I guess if I would go to Nova Scotia, I would have NNAS do an assessment and create an advisory report for RN to be assessed by CRNNS. I wonder if CRNNS would not be as strict as CNO. I think what I'm asking is there anyone who have done NNAS for CRNNS? Or other Provinces? How long is the bridging program?Can you guys share your experience. Thank you. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi loriangel14, So I would expect that after NNAS finishes my advisory report, and assuming that I have registered to CNO with a passing IELTS grade- hopefully. I would still be waiting for CNO's decision for me to take additional courses or write the exam. So I guess I would consider becoming a PSW or find other jobs to support myself while waiting for the whole process. Thanks for the advise Loriangel14.

Hi Silverdragon102! I'm planning to become a RPN here in Toronto since I will only have to take an exam in order to be registered compared to being a RN where the process might take years. In the future I will relocate to another province where becoming a RN would not be that strict. My options are Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and BC.

Hi guys! I'm just new here in this forum. I'd appreciate any help and advice coming from all of you. I am an IEN from the Philippines, I am also a NCLEX Passer however I don't have a recent nursing work experience since I worked in a call center. Currently, I'm still processing my NNAS and just arrived here in Toronto, Ontario. I've noticed that the nursing council here in Ontario is very strict and takes longer time in processing their applicants. I've also heard that most of the IEN's already been assessed are required to go back to school. So I'm thinking now to look for another province where I can become an RN as quickly as possible.
