NANB Board Approves Timelier Registration Process for Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) |
|
|
NANB Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has approved new pathways for the registration of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs), fulfilling a previous commitment to review current registration processes. NANB’s new proposed pathways will allow IENs to become registered and join the workforce in a timelier fashion while supporting their professional transition to the provincial health care system.
“We recognize that NANB is faced with a different reality than other nursing regulators as the only officially bilingual province in Canada and working within the constraints of the Nurses Act,” said Julie Weir, President of the NANB. “In addition, NANB must take into consideration other important factors such as, supporting the IEN to be prepared to meet the demanding health care context and encouraging recruitment from French and English-speaking countries not identified by the World Health Organization that require health workforce support and safeguards.” Read full Press Release...

Supporting Graduate Nurses and Graduate Nurse Practitioners
New graduate nurses (GNs) and nurse practitioners (GNPs) are entering our highly stressed health system that is facing unprecedented challenges.
