  1. NNAS- Canadian citizens with US education/licensure

    RN_Pro replied to nicu_gal's topic in Canada

    I agree with you nicu_gal, these stats should be available to the public. If there is nothing to hide, why not? My guess is that these stats are not provided because they would reveal that NNAS...

  2. US RNs immigrating to Canada: Advice!

    RN_Pro replied to ivyRN987's topic in Immigration Advice

    Hi @ivyRN987 Just wondering if you were able to get your license in Ontario? I am in a similar situation. And, you will not be required to re-take NCLEX-RN (I'm sure you are aware of that now). CNO...

  3. US BSN-RN moving to Canada

    RN_Pro replied to kittygrl392's topic in Nurse Registration

    @kittygrl392 Budget to spend a minimum of $1500 CDN by the time you pay for NNAS, OSCE (which you will more than likely be required to do) and other expenses such as sending paperwork here and there....

  4. Nnas advisory report

    RN_Pro replied to pawara's topic in Nurse Registration

    @kittygrl392 The person who started this thread is the only person I have heard of so far who received a comparable result in which OSCE (IENCAP) was not required. Where are you currently obtaining...

  5. Degree recognized in Canada

    RN_Pro replied to bobacia's topic in Canada

    I know this is an old post but I wanted to make sure I clarified that public/community health is in fact a large part of the American BSN education. I am not sure where the impression came from that...

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

    Please keep us updated smr21 Good

  7. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes but regardless, in the end, this is the exam that the Canadian licensing bodies chose. So despite how different groups feel about the exam, it is the exam that has been chosen to deem an...

  8. SEC assessment in BC

    RN_Pro replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thank you @companisbiki for providing this information. It seems as though different provincial licensing bodies are handling it differently. In Ontario, a recent 4-year BSN from the US does not...

  9. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I just can't wrap my head around how an exam can be sufficient to assess the ability of a Canadian-trained nurse to successfully manage their role but not enough for an IEN. I feel like IENs are...

  10. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @dishes Yes I agree that IENs should be required to meet the same entry to practice competencies that Canadian educated nurses are required to meet. I'm just skeptical that searching through text...

  11. Canadian Immigration & Nursing

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

    @smr21 I'm interested as well. In Ontario you would have to undergo further assessment. Where did you get your ABSN

  12. SEC assessment in BC

    RN_Pro replied to Esha22's topic in Nurse Registration

    @Esha22 Glad that you are going into it prepared for further testing. With a 'non comparable' result you will definitely have to. You won't have to do NCLEX again, but you will have to do the things...

  13. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @Tabss I'm going to try to get a spot in the HealthForce Ontario prep

  14. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to say that the information sent by schools is what has caused results to be "somewhat comparable" or "not comparable". I know that there are issues with schools...

  15. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Congrats! I booked for the March date. Glad we both got

  16. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @Tabss yes I saw! Thanks for sharing. Good luck to you and me and everyone else who will be attempting to register for IENCAP tomorrow. Fingers crossed we all get a space. I'm going to try for...

  17. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    interesting @Fiona59 what city are you in/where have you seen them? I've never seen anything like that but I also have never really been looking. Who issues the signs? I wonder what changed in the...

  18. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Oh, I didn't realize the lunch break was also part of the exam / observation of english skills etc. That explains it then. I guess I will understand more about how it works once I've taken the exam....

  19. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Oh yes I totally understand the need to protect the integrity of the IENCAP. For so many reasons, one being safety because if people share the exam questions then it opens the possibility that those...

  20. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes that is what I wondered but when I mentioned that she said that there was no possible way to cheat as the OSCE portion of the exam was finished for the group and they didn't see the multiple...

  21. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @lkm812 Wow, this whole process is very difficult and not very transparent, but that that is just appalling! There is no reason for that. On an examination day which is so important to determining...

  22. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    @Tabss Thank you, wow, I am just surprised that some people are last minute getting notified that the CNO will assess education and potentially exempt the from IENCAP. I have difficulty with the...

  23. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks for the new info @Tabss. Really important to know! What is the criteria for them now deciding that some people will have their RN education assessed by CNO after NNAS? It seems a bit willy...

  24. NNAS experience?

    RN_Pro replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Does anybody know/remember whether when the baccalaureate requirement came into play, those that had already begun their college nursing program were grandfathered in? Ie: those who were, let's say,...

  25. Practical Nursing Program for International Students

    RN_Pro replied to tranglou543's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Just beware of programs that do not directly prepare you/lead you to write the licensing exam. There are many college programs related to nursing and other health professions in Canada that...
