Registration as RN in Canada

Published

Dear friends,

I scheduled for SEC(all specialities) in Alberta in Sept.2012.I have been referred for assessment in Nova scotia(one speciality) as well,in NS I can get early date for assessment say Feb.2012.I have couple of querries in my mind-

1.If I will go for assessment in NS & likely to clear as I have to go for one speciality only & will pass CRNE, then If I want to transffer my RN license to AB,whats the process & is it easy or time consuming?Moreover,after passing CRNE is it MANDATORY to work in NS to transffer my license to AB or to get RN license?

2.If I will appear for SEC in AB in sept. Is it MANDATORY there to work with AB employer before writing CRNE? If you are in canada is it possible to get early date for SEC in AB? Are there frequent cancellations for SEC in AB so that I can get an early date for SEC,as I will be in canada by Jan.2012?

Which way will be better & less time consuming?I like both AB & NS.I want to do it fast,please friends suggest me your valuable suggestions that can help in to resolve this dilemma.:uhoh3:

Sorry!! I asked too much.I really confused.

God bless

More importantly....where do you want to live and do you have a working visa?

Do you have any idea how far apart AB and NS are?

Two really different parts of the country.

You need to decide where you want to live rather than which province will give you a practice permit the fastest.

The likelihood is you will still have to meet provincial requirements. As mentioned you have to decide where you plan living and working
