In Canada, the health care industry is currently experiencing a major shortage of health care professionals. In the nursing profession alone, there is an immediate demand for Registered Nurses (RNs). If you are an internationally trained nurse and are currently in Canada, you may contact the nursing licensing body of the province or territory that you wish to work in to request an application package. Once you have been assessed by the nursing licensing body and are eligible to write the nursing licensing examination, you may decide to enroll into the Canadian Nclex-RN / RPN Exam Preparation Program.
