When NNAS was new, Australian educated nurses were getting non-comparable. They have recognized there were problems with the assessment and now Aus nurses are getting comparable. Good luck!

No. Your clinical experience counts towards the assessment of your education. Paid work experience is what you need when you submit your job description.

You'll pretty much have to call NNAS in Philadelphia every day and ask to speak to a manager. It's the only way.

I think there have been approximately 2 people who received the report within 12 weeks. The first two who applied! As a US RN they will likely find you comparable or somewhat comparable. It used to be that US nurses were non-comparable, until some fought back and they ended up making some...

CNO will not say you are comparable but you must apply to CNO in order to be instructed by them on what you should do next.

Where did you receive your nursing education? You are likely best off to go work in the place that you are/were previously licensed so that you have recent nursing work experience.

With a 3 year diploma it will not be comparable.

About 8 weeks I believe.

Yes, they likely took nursing courses. The courses this person is referring to isn't actually considered 'nursing'. It's a healthcare course.

No, you'll have to apply to the licensing body in the province where you want to work. If you have NNAS completed already, expect to wait at least 6 months to get your license, if they grant you a license. Unfortunately if you were educated in the Philippines or Nigeria you may have to take...

Because they eventually send all of that information as a package to the nursing body that you are applying to (results of assessment and nursing work history). The nursing licensing body will use it, but NNAS doesn't include it in your assessment. A nurse that has worked 5 years doesn't get...

At which school did you complete your nursing education?

It won't make a difference because it's not a nursing course. NNAS only assesses nursing education, nothing else.

If you have the funds and are certain that you absolutely want to live and work in Canada for the rest of your life, I'd say start the 4 year degree. There is more of a guarantee at the end (assuming you know your stuff), and it will only take a bit longer than the process with NNAS if you are...

I It will make absolutely no difference. Don't waste your money or time.

What country did you receive your nursing education in? You will have to pay for NNAS to send your file to a licensing body in another province. But you will not have to go through the NNAS assessment process again. I doubt the transitional education notice will work against you in other...

I'm afraid you will be disappointed by my answer and by the reality of becoming a nurse in Canada. They 100% will not accept anything submitted personally. You will wait a long time for your Advisory Report from NNAS. 3 months would be the quickest, or it could be one year. If you have a...

You can't work as a nurse. You'll have to work with a PSW (Personal Support Worker). You have to take a PSW course first.

No way to speed it up. For some, it takes 9-10 months. It's completely insane.

They are accountable to nobody. They have been given the contract to be the only agency that reviews nursing education for licensing in Canada. Zero oversight and it's terrible.
