  1. BSN vs ADN with current BS

    RN_Pro replied to LuckyMoon's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most definitely

  2. BSN vs ADN with current BS

    RN_Pro replied to LuckyMoon's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    At some point in the not-so-distant future, BSN will be required in the US as it currently is in Canada and many other countries. Working in the US, I notice a difference between the way that ADN and...

  3. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I know the report says 89% had a positive experience, but I don't buy that for one minute. Not one. I never received any sort of feedback/evaluation to complete from NNAS nor Touchstone. Trust me,...

  4. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Congratulations! Such great news! It's great to hear that some people are finally getting through, and getting some "comparable" sections on their report as well! What school did you obtain your...

  5. US IENs in Ontario, Canada

    RN_Pro replied to abbyg13's topic in Nurse Registration

    I suppose anything is possible but they didn't do that for me. That would be incredibly unfair to be quite honest. So far I don't think there has been anyone with "non-comparable" that has had that...

  6. US IENs in Ontario, Canada

    RN_Pro replied to abbyg13's topic in Nurse Registration

    @abbyg13 Okay so if the overall Advisory Report was non-comparable, please disregard my previous response. I was basing that response on a "somewhat comparable" advisory report. Unfortunately, I...

  7. RN from US to Québec to Ontario

    RN_Pro replied to RN_3000's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry, I'm not overly familiar with how it works in Quebec. Were you educated in

  8. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Yes, I see, so this would reflect the applicants who were not required to go back to school and were able to complete the OSCE or whatever was needed. I will be interested in the next

  9. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Thanks so much for the update @dishes! I wonder how many of them were assessed by NNAS and how many were already in the system from before. To get through the NNAS assessment which seems to be taking...

  10. US IENs in Ontario, Canada

    RN_Pro replied to abbyg13's topic in Nurse Registration

    @abbyg13 I empathize with you 100%. I too am going through the same, except, my 4 year BSN was deemed "non-comparable" by NNAS and I had to do the $400 IENCAP. (I say $400 but can you really put a...

  11. CRNBC - Indian graduate got RN license

    RN_Pro replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    I did the same, and am also a RN currently working in the US. I am a Canadian citizen and got my BSN in the US, as well as some additional certifications. I had to take the IENCAP. Don't get me...

  12. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    It was okay. I currently work as a nurse in the US so am up to date on my practice which made me feel confident throughout. The OSCE part was pretty straightforward so if I don't pass then I will be...

  13. After OSCE...is it back to school for 3-4 yrs??

    RN_Pro replied to akama's topic in Canada

    I agree, most Canadians value a diverse health care workforce and there is definitely nothing to be gained from wasting human capital. To be fair though, it is not just IENs 'forming an opinion' of...

  14. Recruiting Agency

    RN_Pro replied to BlackBee's topic in International Nursing

    Exactly what dishes said. US nurses do not need a recruiter. Just follow the steps beginning with NNAS. You might want to read the thread titled "NNAS experience" before you apply. It outlines the...

  15. Recruiting Agency

    RN_Pro replied to BlackBee's topic in International Nursing

    Lacking a nursing license in Canada will not be a barrier to obtaining one in the US. I agree with everything else JustBeachyNurse has shared regarding availability of nursing jobs for

  16. NNAS Advisory Report Results

    RN_Pro replied to RN_Pro's topic in Nurse Registration

    @kate_UK check out "NNAS experience" on this forum and you will be able to read all about the NNAS process. I found it incredibly

  17. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    Well, either NNAS lied when I asked them a few months ago, or they do in fact pay people to do the word

  18. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    At the end of the day though they selected NCLEX-RN. If they felt it was only second best or were otherwise unhappy with it as an entry-to-practice examination...it was still their decision to choose...

  19. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    I did contact NNAS regarding this and their answer was:Thank you for contacting NNAS Please be advised our reports are not "machine [COLOR=#000000]assisted" and are done manually by trained...

  20. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for the correction, yes, CNO doesn't recruit and that's an important distinction. The recruiting of nursing students by some post-secondary institutions in Canada that I was referring to...

  21. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    @Icelocababe we are on the same page here. As a Canadian, I too am saddened that the provincial licensing bodies, or the Pan-Canadian Framework for the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign...

  22. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    Not an immigration issue. A visa issue. TN visas are for non-immigrants. They are being denied entry into the country where they are employed. I posted this just to raise awareness to other...

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

    RN_Pro replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

    Just an FYI for Canadians who are licensed and working as nurses in the US Trump immigration policies kill work visas for specialized Canadian nurses - Windsor - CBC

  25. Frustrating CNO process for IENs

    RN_Pro replied to kakeru's topic in Canada

    I wouldn't say any province in particular. I would say any remote community, like in the northern parts of Canada or the less populated where they need nurses because people don't really want to live...
