4 REGISTERED NURSES AND REGISTERED PSYCHIATRIC NURSES Credentials Registration is mandatory in British Columbia (BC) to practise as a registered nurse (RN) or a registered psychiatric nurse (RPN). An applicant s education and experience determines which provincial regulatory body they should register with. Provisional registration allows applicants to practise as RNs or RPNs in BC while they write the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN), or Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Canada Exam (RPNCE), and wait for the results. y RNs should apply for registration with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC). y RPNs should apply for registration with the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (CRPNBC). y Registered nurses with a post-basic certificate in psychiatry/mental health may register with CRNBC, CRPNBC, or both. Canadian Registered Nurses Registered Nurses (RNs) with current or previous registration in another Canadian jurisdiction, or RNs who have recently graduated from a Canadian RN program, are eligible to apply directly to CRNBC for registration in BC and do not require assessment through the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS). LABOUR MOBILITY RNs and licensed graduate nurses currently registered in another Canadian jurisdiction may be eligible for registration in BC, in accordance with the British Columbia Labour Mobility Act, the Agreement on Internal Trade, and section 4.04(2) or 4.06(3) of CRNBC s bylaws: y Applicants must be of good character and meet the other requirements in section 4.03(1) of the bylaws. y Applicants must not be subject to practise limitations, restrictions or conditions in the Canadian jurisdiction where they are currently registered and must meet all applicable continuing competency and quality assurance requirements in that jurisdiction. y Applicants who were not educated in Canada and are registered in another Canadian jurisdiction (which does not have a congruent process to CRNBC for demonstrating substantially equivalent competence), must have practised in the jurisdiction for a minimum of 0.5 FTE for at least 12 months before the date of the application. In accordance with section 3(4)(c)(i) of the Labour Mobility Act and Article 706(4)(b) of the Agreement on Internal Trade, applicants who do not meet this requirement may be required to undergo a competency assessment and/ or acquire additional training/experience or undergo examination to be eligible for registration in BC. For the latest information, please go to crnbc.ca Canadian Registered Psychiatric Nurses The registered psychiatric nurse regulatory bodies in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan have entered into an Endorsement Agreement in order to facilitate interprovincial mobility for RPNs. This permits persons with practising registration, or who are eligible for practising registration, with one of the regulators noted below to register with any of the other regulators in the Agreement. y College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia y College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta y Registered Psychiatric Nurses Association of Saskatchewan y College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba. As an interprovincial applicant, you must first make a request to have your endorsement evaluated. All applicants who completed their psychiatric nursing education program in a location other than BC are required to successfully complete the CRPNBC online learning module Introduction to BC RPN s Ethical, Professional and Legal Responsibilities prior to registering with the College. Access to the module is provided as part of the application process. For the latest information, please go to crpnbc.ca Governing Bodies College of Registered Nurses of BC (CRNBC) The licensing body for registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and licensed graduate nurses in the province of BC. crpnbc.ca College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC) The licensing body for registered psychiatric nurses in the province of BC. crpnbc.ca
5 What an IEN applicant needs to do to initiate their registration: Internationally Educated Nurses (RNs and RPNs) All nurses educated outside of Canada are considered to be internationally educated nurses (IENs). All international applicants (RNs and RPNs) are required to apply to the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) before applying to the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC), or the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (CRPNBC). Most IENs will need to be assessed by the Nursing Competency Assessment Service (NCAS) after they finish the NNAS process. All applicants for registration must write and pass the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) or the Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Canada Exam (RPNCE). If English is not their first language, an English fluency test will be required to confirm proficiency. OVERVIEW OF APPLICATION PROCESS FOR IEN APPLICANTS STAGE 1: Apply to the NNAS. STAGE 2: Apply to CRNBC/CRPNBC - After the NNAS has completed their evaluation, you will receive an Advisory Report. Once you receive your report, you can apply to CRNBC/ CRPNBC. STAGE 3: Competence Assessment - All applicants for registration must demonstrate the entry-level competencies for RNs and RPNs in BC. You may be referred to the NCAS by CRNBC or CRPNBC. STAGE 4: Assessment of Your Application for Registration - After you complete the NCAS assessment, CRNBC/CRPNBC will receive a report. They will review the report along with your other application documents and identify if you have any competency gaps. If gaps exist you may be required to complete transitional education (e.g. one or more individual courses, a re-entry to practise program, or a BC Bachelor of Nursing program), before you can write the NCLEX-RN or RPNCE and register with CRNBC or CRPNBC. STAGE 5: Eligibility for Registration - Once you have completed the CRNBC/CRPNBC registration requirements including any required transitional education, and passed the NCLEX-RN or RPNCE, you are eligible for practising registration with CRNBC or CRPNBC. You must ensure your practising registration is in place before you start practising as an RN or RPN in BC. PLEASE NOTE: Once an applicant has been advised by CRNBC/CRPNBC that they are eligible for provisional or full registration, they should inform Health Match BC so that our nurse recruitment services team can start making referrals on their behalf to the eight publicly funded health employers. National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) All IENs seeking initial registration/ licensure to practise in BC as an RN or an RPN must first complete an application to the NNAS. After the NNAS notifies you by that your application and report are complete, you may then apply to CRNBC or CRPNBC. When you apply to either regulatory body, they will conduct a further review of your application based on your NNAS file. Nursing Competency Assessment Service (NCAS) As part of the application process, most IENs will be referred to the NCAS by CRNBC/CRPNBC. The NCAS is a three-part competency assessment for internationally educated health practitioners (including RNs and RPNs), who want to practise in BC. The NCAS is made up of three assessments: a Computer-based Assessment; a Simulation Lab Assessment; and an Oral Assessment. All three are necessary to complete the assessment process. The NCAS is designed to help assess the extent to which the competencies and skills you gained during your education are substantially equivalent to those gained by a Canadian educated RN or RPN. The NCAS evaluates entry-level competencies; it does not look at expert levels or nursing practise. Entry-level competencies are the competencies that new graduates from a BC nursing program are required to have. Once you have completed the NCAS assessment, a report highlighting your competency strengths and gaps will be sent to CRNBC/CRPNBC. Using this report, the documentation from your NNAS assessment and all of the information from your application, CRNBC/CRPNBC will determine your registration requirements. Coursework will often be recommended.
6 English proficiency requirements y If English is not the applicant s first or native language, an English fluency test is required to confirm proficiency. y Only CELBAN and IELTS exams will be accepted. Combining test results is not permitted. y Test scores must be submitted within six months of the test date. PLEASE NOTE: After CRNBC/CRPNBC advises applicants that they are eligible for provisional or full licensure, Health Match BC will then assist applicants in applying to health employers in the region(s) of their choice.

CRNBC registers NPs in one of three streams of practise: family; adult; or pediatric. All applicants are required to complete a written examination and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Provisional Nurse Practitioner Registration Graduates of NP programs in BC are eligible for provisional registration prior to completing the written and clinical exams. An applicant may apply for provisional registration after CRNBC has received written confirmation directly from the school of nursing where they completed their NP program. The form can be found in the application package on the CRNBC website. Applicants are not required to apply for provisional registration if they do not plan to practise as a provisional NP before passing the exam and obtaining full CRNBC registration. This information is current as of July 2017 and is subject to change. The latest info can be found at healthmatchbc.org Nurse Practitioners educated outside of BC If an applicant s training was completed in an NP program outside of BC, the applicant is still eligible to apply for registration, but may be required to undergo a competency assessment process. All applicants must complete the written and clinical (OSCE) examinations. To be eligible for NP registration in BC, an applicant must have: y Current RN registration or established eligibility for RN registration with CRNBC. An RN and NP application can be submitted concurrently. y Graduated from an NP program equivalent to a Master s Level nursing education program that prepares graduates with the competencies to practise as described in Competencies Required for Nurse Practitioners in British Columbia, (this document is available on the CRNBC website). y Successfully completed the OSCE. y Met the minimum practise hour requirement.

To apply for a work permit, you may be required to provide evidence that you have applied to the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC), or the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (CRPNBC), for certification. For more information, please contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada at cic.gc.ca When the applicant receives a full-time offer of employment and has obtained eligibility to practise as a RN, RPN or NP in BC the prospective employer will initiate the immigration process. The applicant has two immigration options: a temporary work permit; and/or apply to the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Temporary Work Permit A temporary work permit allows applicants to work in Canada for a specific employer for up to three years. This permit is renewable. It also allows spouses to apply for work in Canada. To get a temporary work permit, an applicant needs to: y Download an application form from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. cic.gc.ca y Complete all of the forms including the documents from their prospective employer and gather all of the required documents. y Submit the application and the required fees to the closest Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate, or the nearest Citizenship and Immigration Canada Visa Office.

Applications for temporary work permits take approximately six to eight months to be processed. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Internationally educated nurses may be eligible to apply to the PNP, under the Skills Immigration Healthcare Professional category. This program is an alternate means of obtaining permanent residency status in Canada for skilled workers who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.

An offer of indeterminate, fulltime employment with a health authority as a registered nurse, registered psychiatric nurse, or nurse practitioner. 2. At least two (2) years of directly related full-time (or equivalent), work experience in the occupation that has been offered to you and, if applicable, the credentials and qualification requirements for the position. 3.
