U.S. educated RN coming to Ontario, Canada

Published

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and would like to get some opinion and advise.

I received my ADN from a community college in NYS and passed NCLEX in August 2014. Right away I did RN to BSN program at Hunter College that I finished this August.

Meanwhile being in school, I got married to a Canadian and now we are moving to Ontario since my Bachelor's is done.

I am submitting an application through NNAS to get the initial appointment with CNO.

I do not have experience with the exception of several internships done while in school.

Did anyone had the same experience applying for RN license in Ontario recently? Advantages/Disadvantages? Obstacles? How long did it take for you?

I am interested in pursuing emergency nursing and if anyone knows certifications/courses that I can obtain while waiting to license that will help me get a job, that would be amazing.

Thanks all,

Zoya

It looks like specialized Canadian nurses are once again allowed to cross the border on their TN visas.
