RN Jurisprudence Examination required despite taking NCLEX?

Published

Hello,

I am a registered nurse in the U.S and planning to move to Canada. I took NCLEX about 5 yrs ago. Will College of nursing Ontario require me to sit for RN Jurisprudence Examination? or would the NCLEX exam be enough to get me licensed?

 

Thanks

Yes, you have to do both. The Jurisprudence Examination Covers requirements for the provincial health regulations and even if moving between provinces you have to sit another Jurisprudence Examination. Although if already passed NCLEX you don’t have to do that again
