Trying to register in Nova Scotia

Published

Specializes in ITU.

Can anyone help me? I am an RN with 4 years qualifed in ITU trying to emigrate to Nova Scotia only to be told I dont have enough theory hours when I trained, I have 450 I need 500 and have been told I need to do a practical cometency exam as well as a writen multiple choice paper. I hadnt planned on going back to Canada before I move there but it seems that is now stopping me. Can anyone tell me what the practical exam involes, If it will cost me and if there is anything I can do in the mean time this end?:banghead: I dont know if post reg hours are counted as I have done a degree module too. They maybe short of nurses I bet a lot dont make it through the first hurdle they dont make it easy.

Specializes in intensive care, recovery, anesthetics.

You need to meet Canadian requirements, talking about quality not quantity...

But anyway sounds like a SEC that they want you to do. Or sth similar, they are several threads regarding SEC.

The exact and best answer can only give the College of Nursing. So better ask them directly.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

As well as what 5cats has said you will also have to sit and pass CRNE. UK training doesn't always meet Canadian training and you have to meet their requirements
