SEC assessment in BC

World Registration

Hi Fellow Nurses

This is my first post in the forum. I am currently working as RN in Minnesota US. I have applied for CRNBC and they are now reviewing my documents. Has anyone ever been exempt from doing SEC assessment. Any ideas or suggestions in this regard would be helpful. Has anyone done SEC assessment recently?

Specializes in ICU and ER.

I have US experience in ICU, ER and PACU. I hope it will help

If your education meets their standard (graduated from a USA BSN program, preferably 4 year program straight on) and you have graduated quite recently then you will get exempted from taking the SEC (it's changing into the NCAS now though). Anyone without that education WILL get a non- comparable result and will need to take SEC/OSCE.

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 exempt an applicant from OSCE. It's good to know that BC is doing things differently.
