US Nursing Program Comparable to Canadian Standards

Published

Hello,

I am currently working as a nurse in Wyoming and was a graduate from The University of South Dakota, which is a CCNE accredited program. I am thinking about moving to Canada for my girlfriend and how do you truly know before you spend the money if your school is comparable to Canadian standards? Thank you!!

Moved to the Nurse Registration forum

only having your transcripts assessed by NNAS will decide if your training is comparable to Canadian training

Thank you for your response! Is there a way to look into a Canadian nursing program curriculum to compare or is it not how that works? Thanks!

First, which province do you want to relocate to? Depending on the province, we call our "BON" here College of Nurses. Each steps of registration for internationally educated nurses are posted on their website.

He is right. Then for instance, you are to apply to the College of Nurses of Ontario... I directed the link for faqs.

Applicants whose nursing education and practice do not meet the College’s nursing education requirement will be asked to take the IENCAP. Internationally Educated Nurses Competency Assessment Program

Aside from NCLEX, here is Jurisprudence Examination

Good luck.
