Seeking a career in Ontario but studied nursing in Quebec at a Cegep level

Published

Hi! I am seeking a career in Ontario next year but I have been studying nursing in Quebec at a Cegep level for the past 2 years, I was wondering if I would be granted the title of RN when I pass the board exam or is university the only thing they accept to be considered RN? My way of seeing it is that the two programs are pretty much equivalent but I do not know anything about Ontario standards and requirements. Thanks for helping me solve this question. I have been looking all over the Internet to find an answer but never stumbled on what I was looking for.

You would be best to contact the CNO directly and they will tell you how to proceed.
