Changes to the Registration and Licensing Process for Internationally Educated Nurses
NSCN continues to comprehensively review all registration and licensing processes to ensure they are relevant, flexible and positively contribute to the supply of nurses while simultaneously meeting NSCN’s legislated mandate to protect the public.
NSCN has made changes in the five key areas that positively contribute to the number of nurses:
- More ways to meet the English language proficiency registration requirement
- Earlier Access to the Registration Exam
- Earlier Entry to Practice
- Earlier Return to Practice
- Policy and Process Changes
Learn more about the changes to our registration and licensing process here and read our recent news release here.
