    bobacia replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    bobacia replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

    bobacia replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

  8. U.S. educated RN coming to Ontario, Canada

    bobacia replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

    Sorry ZB-RN! So the CNO told you to go back to school. You appealed (and won). The CNO granted you a license. That's incredible! And

  10. U.S. educated RN coming to Ontario, Canada

    bobacia replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

  15. NNAS experience?

    bobacia replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I got my ASN/BSN in Iowa. Did you take the OSCE? Do you know people who have taken it and passed? Or failed? I don't mind to take it as I feel that I have been well prepared. That being said, I...
