Canadian RN moving to Florida
My wife is a RN here in Canada graduated from University Of Alberta (2017) with 8 years of experience. 4 years of floor nursing and 4 years of nurse management. We are in the process of moving to the states this year and applied to get her RN license transferred to the state of FL. We recieved our CES report today and it states that she does not meet the educational requirement, please see pictures attached.
It states that she must complete a first level general nursing program and pass the CNATS exam. It's frustrating because we thought UOA nursing degree is world renowned and accepted world wide. Will the Florida board consider her work experience and waive this exam? Or will she have to write this exam and start from floor nursing again?
Will doing a master's degree help in anyway? This is in her plans already but could do it sooner.
Thank you in advance for all your guidance and feedback.
