Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
This does help! I'm just trying to make sure I don't make any mistakes. Do you know if you can register to practice in more then one province? I thought about Alberta but now I think maybe BC. It's a long road ahead of me, but at least I can start. I know I'll have to do some more training. I looked everywhere in the UK to see if they do any courses. Brighton Uni say on their site they do and I've emailed but I haven't heard back from them.
Thank you
Thank you

Yea of course, I emailed them 3 days ago but I'm off work tomorrow so I'll call them rather then waiting. Do you need to send two lots of documents to both. Are you over there at the moment ? X

Aw I figured as much, double money. But at least it gets it done. I want to continue my nursing in palliative care and there are more hospices in BC and appears to be more jobs at the moment at least.

It will be an expensive job registering to practice in more than one province and probably to start with better to register in the province you wish to live and work in

'Good morning and thank you for contacting NNAS, No you don't need to do anything else when you add a province, we have all we need with your first set of documents. I hope this helps, NNAS Customer Care.'
So I guess I don't need to pay double for the paperwork just afterwards registering with two provinces would be expensive.

Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
Yes I agree. I kind of rushed into it first of all. I asked the NNAS and they sent me this

Now you apply to NNAS and they assess everything and they then send your assessment to whichever provinces you choose. If you look on the individual provincial nursing body websites it should list the fee that each one charges. the biggest portion of the fee is for NNAS which only has to be done once. The fee for eg with CNO once you have NNAS is $169.50.

Prior to the NNAS you would have had to apply to the individual provinces.

It is difficult trying to read and understand fully when you are new to the process!
Good luck!

Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
Heard back from Brighton today and they have stopped doing the course, they said they would take it off the website. They then said that there are loads of universities that do it and when I asked which ones, they unfortunately didn't know but suggested I tried Google! Haha. I live on Google at the moment!

Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
Last I heard no universities offered any top up courses because they trained people to the UK standards not International standards, that's what was said at the time. Brighton was the only one that did it because they had been approached by an agency that imported mainly to the US however when retrogression set in back in 2006 they decided that it wasn't worth it due to the long delays

Re: Calling all nurses!!!!!!
you will have to do the assessment i have argued it for last 2 years but am having to do it , i managed to get the childrens aspect dropped so only doing 4 day course now but untill you have done that it depends on weather you will need any bridging courses. x I was assessed via WES originally so not sure if this is the same as the new system but be interested to see.
