Demonstrate Currency of Practice

Submit a Currency of Practice Affidavit.

To demonstrate currency of practice you must have:

  • Practiced a minimum of 1125 hours as an RN in within the past 5 years; or
  • Have graduated from a registered nurse education program within the past 5 years.

If you cannot demonstrate currency of practice as you have worked fewer than 1125 hours as an RN, you may still apply and must provide a submission of a Currency of Practice Affidavit confirming the hours practiced. You will be required to complete the CNNB Adaptation Program (see below).

Candidates who cannot demonstrate currency of practice with education or nursing practice do not meet the currency requirements and will be required to complete a competency assessment through Inspire Global Assessments or complete an IEN Bridging Program.
