  1. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    If that is the reason they don't post more test dates, I just wish that when contacted, Touchstone explained this. It would be a lot easier and give a greater sense of transparency if they

  2. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I agree, the lag time will definitely be a barrier. In fact I think I have read on some forums that people have had to forget their "Canadian pipe dream" because of it. Certainly unfair. I'm very...

  3. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks dishes. Just wondering, what makes you think they will not receive adequate funding? Touchstone is run like a business, similar to how NNAS is, so I think start-up funds may have made sense...

  4. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi Tabss, Canadian nursing education or equivalent is treated as a separate requirement from passing NCLEX-RN. I think (but of course it's always best to check with CNO) that after the NNAS assessment...

  5. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Very good advice Tabss. Especially since this NNAS process, people need to know how difficult it is. If they look at the stats on how many IENs became registered with CNO after NNAS was implemented,...

  6. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I should also note that the 10% who have competency gaps in exclusively those four areas are the lucky ones. The other 90% have competency gaps which require them to complete far more education...

  7. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I checked with the program coordinator and she said yes, these courses are accredited by CNO. So if you pass the "ethical practice" course, you will be considered to have met that CNO requirement....

  8. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @dishes I agree with you 100%. Especially the PRE-migration part. People leave their homes and families with hopes of being nurses here and spend a lot of money on something that often does not work...

  9. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks for the pricing info dishes! Much appreciated. I just noticed that it is on the website, I missed it, oops. I see that you are an RN from Toronto, but may I ask your affiliation? Just...

  10. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Good questions Tabss, I also wonder whether the courses come into play after step 2 or step 3. I've sent an email off to the project coordinator asking about your second question and about the cost...

  11. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks so much for posting this Tabss! Does the email say that taking these courses will allow you to skip the IENCAP? Because I thought your competency gaps are only identified after you have...

  12. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, the answer to your questions is no. Any education that is not a Canadian education will not pass. There has not been an RN who has received a comparable...

  13. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I hate to disappoint you Philrnusuk, but it's best to be prepared: your NNAS report will not come back as "comparable". There have been no foreign educated RN's who have had a comparable results from...

  14. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Dishes, Do you know what the pass rates are for the IENCAP? ie:how many have scored 4 or higher on each competency?

  15. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks for the numbers

  16. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes when notified by CNO that I need to register for it, it was already full. I called Touchstone just to ask about whether there are any tips on how to ensure a spot next time...there aren't. I...

  17. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi bobacia, It's been almost a year now. I am wondering the exact same things as you, but Touchstone refuses to answer any of those questions. The last test date that we know of is Feb 2017 and they...

  18. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi bobacia, I haven't done the OSCE yet. I have been instructed to by the licensing board but there are no spaces left in the February test date and no word at all on when they will release the new...

  19. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    You can, but you will have to do a variety of other things, such as the OSCE (in Ontario at least). I had a non-comparable result and applied to the College of Nurses of Ontario. They sent a letter...
