Internationally Educated Nurses Next Steps

Year 1 - Internationally Educated Nurses BScN

This checklist will help you get ready for your first practicum placement(s) by providing you with a checklist of IMPORTANT NEXT STEPS.

  • Step 1: JANUARY - Create your York Passport account and York email (so as not to miss critical information sent to students’ York email account).

  • Step 2: JANUARY - Obtain your School of Nursing Identification.

  • Step 3: JANUARY - Complete and submit your GeoPreferences e-form to the NPCO by the January 30th deadline.

  • Step 4: JANUARY TO APRIL - Complete your Clinical Preparedness Permit (CPP).

Note:  be aware that all police services charge a fee for processing a Police Vulnerable Sector Screen (VSS) reference check and it may take up to 12 weeks for them to process your application.

  • Step 5: MARCH - Log into HSPnet to view your Term 2 placement details (based on your submitted GeoPreferences form).

  • Step 6: APRIL 1-15 - Arrange an appointment with Synergy Employment Services to have your CPP ‘stamped’ by the April 15th deadline.

Feel free to call the NPCO at 416.736.2100 (extension 33174) or email npco@yorku.ca with any questions.

We look forward to helping you have a great year at York!
