New Brunswick graduate nurses have the option of writing the Quebec entry exam to become fully licensed.
The province and the Nurses Association of New Brunswick announced Wednesday that seats have been confirmed for those interested.
“Ensuring all qualified nursing graduates have a direct pathway to become fully licensed is one more way to help us as we focus on efforts to both recruit and retain health professionals from our province,” Health Minister Bruce Fitch said in a news release.
Graduate nurses would still have to complete their registration process in New Brunswick through a new simplified process.
Laurie Janes, executive director of the Nurses Association, said they have always supported and recognized the Quebec entry exam as one option for meeting nursing registration requirements in New Brunswick.
“Graduates may feel more comfortable writing the Quebec exam,” said Janes in the release.
The Nurses Association has added resources to their website for those studying for the Quebec exam.
