CNA declares made- and owned-in-Canada RN entry exam essential
CNA president Judith Shamian issued a declaration of principles for the development of a made- and owned-in-Canada RN entry exam. At a news conference (now available on YouTube) Shamian said concerns have been growing since December, when 10 of Canada’s RN regulators selected the U.S.-based National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to develop a new computer-based RN entry exam. NCSBN announced it would bring the existing American exam to Canada for the purpose of licensing new nurses.
