Internationally Educated Nurses

The Nova Scotia College of Nursing has implemented a new first-in-Canada approach to registration and licensure that will establish a fast and predictable pathway to licensure in Nova Scotia.

Registered nurses who demonstrate good standing and good character and are licensed in Canada, the Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia, or New Zealand, are eligible for registration and licensure in Nova Scotia immediately with no additional requirements other than passing the entrance exam.
