  1. RN to BSN schools in Canada for US educated ADN?

    RN_Pro replied to gypsierose's topic in Canada

    Yes, a 4 year BScN is required. 4 year BSN from a nursing school outside of Canada must be assessed for equivalency and ADNs would definitely be asked to further their education before being eligible...

  2. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Just to ensure everyone is aware of this important information: CNO made changes in September 2016 regarding how IEN's can prove their education requirement has been met. Although these changes were...

  3. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    RN_Pro replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    Then there will also be a cost associated with further testing as it is likely your NNAS Advisory Report will say "non-comparable" I work in the US and definitely there are similar staffing issues in...

    Thanks so much for your response @RupiRN It's really helpful as well as encouraging. Congrats on the comparable NNAS report! Which school in Australia did you receive your nursing degree? Sounds...

  5. Help! Australian nurse wanting to nurse in Canada BC

    RN_Pro replied to rachelhrv17's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi RupiRN: Where are you now in the process? Have you received your Advisory Report

  6. Full time in Canada 36 or 40 hours/week?

    RN_Pro replied to CarmelValley's topic in Canada

    Do you have a nursing license in any of the Canadian provinces? If not, I would recommend that while you are doing your information gathering, you may want to research and read some of the forums on...

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

    RN_Pro replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

    Hi @ZB-RN, Are you able to give us an update on where you are on your journey to RN licensure? It would be really helpful to know. Thank

  8. USA trained BSN-RN license transfer to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to tjonathas21's topic in International Nursing

    Just wondering if you are able to update us? Many are in the same situation, with US nursing educations and "non-comparable" with comparability percentages that are so low there is no way the...

  9. US RN considering to move and work as RN in Ontario, Canada.

    RN_Pro replied to jay_j's topic in Nurse Registration

    Be prepared that when you get assessed by NNAS it is likely that the result will be "non-comparable". As such, you will be treated the exact same as nurses educated in India, China, Ivory Coast,...

  10. IENCAP

    RN_Pro replied to KSANURSE_23's topic in Nurse Registration

    @dishes I have an exam date now, I attend the info session in Feb and then the exam in

  11. Australian nurse wanting to work in Canada/USA

    RN_Pro replied to Melbournnurse's topic in International Nursing

    What are your timelines? Even for LPN it is likely to take a year or more to get a license, because you have to go through the NNAS process and then the licensing body might require you to do...

  12. Recent AA graduate from US wanting to move to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to azizjaan's topic in Canada

    I agree with @dishes Definitely wait until you have your degree before applying through NNAS. If were only one year into your BSN but planned to nurse in Canada after I would say cut your losses and...

  13. IENCAP

    RN_Pro replied to KSANURSE_23's topic in Nurse Registration

    Tip#1: You should get an email when a new test date is about to open for registration. On the day registration opens, register immediately and have your credit card ready. Spots fill up fast and...

  14. Moving to Canada with a US NCLEX license please help

    RN_Pro replied to amos24's topic in International Nursing

    Have a look at "NNAS experience" and you will learn a lot about the current process for gaining licensure in Canada. It is incredibly difficult and expensive. The process changed in Aug 2014 and...

  15. vacation time permanent or casual jobs Toronto

    RN_Pro replied to accountforlaura's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to Canada! I hope you love it (despite the cold). May I ask, what was your NNAS Advisory Report result? Comparable or somewhat comparable? Also, which uni did you receive your nursing degree...

  16. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Just wondering if anyone knows whether the IENCAP satisfies the education requirement. For example, if an applicant received "non comparable" on their NNAS Advisory Report, takes the IENCAP and gets...

  17. VisaScreen/Licenses

    RN_Pro replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Do you mean a VisaScreen to work in Canada? VisaScreen looks at whether your education is equivalent to that which is required where you are getting your work visa (usually a money grab). If you...

  18. Aussie trying to work in Eastern Canada

    RN_Pro replied to SarahMaramara's topic in Canada

    As I understand it, one course with a clinical placement. Many of us who are 'lacking' maternal-child according to licensing bodies have the same level of education in maternal-child health, or more,...

  19. Aussie trying to work in Eastern Canada

    RN_Pro replied to SarahMaramara's topic in Canada

    I didn't realize that nursing licensing bodies were asking people who got a "comparable" NNAS Advisory Report to take further coursework or take further assessments. I guess that is because NNAS is...

  20. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Cool thanks @dishes. I'll keep my eye out for it when it comes. Really interested in seeing stats. I wonder if it's too late to request the inclusion of some of the things mentioned in this

  21. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    Interestingly, as a side note, the new CNO 2016 Membership Report does not indicate how many new RN's there were for 2016. In the past they reported on new RN's based on where they got their nursing...

  22. Canadian Immigration & Nursing

    RN_Pro replied to o.poole's topic in Immigration Advice

    Wow huge congrats @smr21 !!!! This is a difficult and expensive process, glad you were able to make it through. I don't think there are very many who have yet through the NNAS process so, great!...

  23. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    No, I wouldn't hold off on IENCAP. Because it is still very likely that after re-evaluation the CNO will ask you to complete the IENCAP. Then you will have to wait for an exam date and sometimes...

  24. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    The only problem with resubmitting all of your syllabi to the CNO is that the CNO will not accept any documentation from any other source aside from NNAS. They will not accept it if you get your...

  25. ADN Needs To Move To Rural Nova Scotia. What Is The Process

    RN_Pro replied to RegNurse1987's topic in Canada

    Revised from some advice I gave another poster: Budget to spend a minimum of $1500 CDN by the time you pay for NNAS, OSCE/SEC (which you will more than likely be required to do) and other expenses...
