Missing Requirement
You have indicated that you have not practised nursing for the required minimum hours or graduated from a nursing program within the past five years.
You may be required to complete additional education in order to continue with the registration process. The following tables outline the required study to meet the practice requirement. The length of the study varies depending on the number of years that the applicant has not practised nursing.
Before enrolling in additional education, you must apply for registration and receive an assessment by the College, which will recommend what steps you should take to meet the requirements.
