Which bridging program are you in? Nurses don't normally get into nursing bridging programs without going through NNAS first. Some colleges like Niagara College have programs that lead international students to believe you can be a nurse after but it's not true.

yes, apply now. work experience has nothing to do with NNAS.

What are your questions?

I would include it! Their website says not to and they will say not to, but in the end, they forward your entire file to the licensing body and you will want the licensing body to have absolutely everything that might be useful for them to make their decision. So NNAS won't look at your...

Oh don't worry, that length of time is no big deal for CNO. It could take a long time!!!

yes

you need to submit the paperwork that shows you practiced as a Practical Nurse elsewhere.

not worth it to apply

The OSCE in Ontario and Alberta is the exact same exam. Different name but same exam run by the same group, Touchstone Institute. Do they have a free 1-day prep class for the OSCE in Alberta?

Yup. No oversight or accountability. You can complain to CNO and Office of the Fairness Commissioner. Nothing will be done but at least you have sent in your complaint. The more the better.

You lucked out because others before you fought to make changes. When NNAS was first implemented all US educated nurses with 4 year BSN's were deemed "non comparable", along with everyone else that applied. Even those that were educated in universities that were accepted by CNO for over a...

Closest thing is Personal Service Worker but that's not that close.

This is nothing new, you're not the only person this has happened to. There is no accountability and nobody to complain to. The main office in Toronto doesn't answer the phone, the Office of the Fairness Commissioner doesn't care, and licensing bodies here don't care either. They are just...

Yes, start now!

Not if you've never worked as a registered nurse.

Sure, if you take and pass the course to be a nurses aide. Likely though you'll get a job as a PSW (Personal Service Worker). PSW is a 20 week course usually.

In this situation I wouldn't bother submitting your paperwork to NNAS. It's a waste of money. You will have to start at the beginning and obtain a nursing degree from a Canadian university. Graduating that long ago, and never working as a nurse, you won't be considered by any licensing body.

NNAS could take up to 12 months to issue an Advisory Report.

Yes you might.

If you read the posts here, you'll get a pretty good idea. It will take a long time and cost a lot of money without any guarantees.
