Licensure of Internationally Educated Nurses

The Nova Scotia College of Nursing (NSCN) has implemented a new approach to registration and licensure that will establish a fast and predictable pathway to licensure in Nova Scotia.

The expedited licensure process is enabling international nurses who demonstrate good standing and are registered and hold a current license that entitles them to practice as an RN in the Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia or New Zealand to be eligible for registration and licensure in Nova Scotia with no additional requirements other than passing the entrance exam.

For more information about the expedited licensure process for seven designated countries and to apply, please visit the NSCN website .
