Practical Nurse Licensing and Credentially Forms

PRACTICAL NURSE LICENSING AND CREDENTIALLY FORMS

Learners who have graduated from the Practical Nurse Diploma or

Certificate program can submit licensing and credentialling application

forms (for example, NNAS, CGFNS, CNO, ERES) to the School of Health and

Wellness (SHW) at pnprogram@bowvalleycollege.ca.

It is the responsibility of the learner to contact the licensing body regarding

requirements and to ensure the form being submitted is the correct form.

Documents can take up to 6 weeks to process. The SHW will notify the

learner by email when the final documents have been issued to the

licensing body, and the school will reach out to the learner if additional

information is required.

Learners who have not received the final confirmation email within 6

weeks can follow up on the status of the request by contacting the SHW at

pnprogram@bowvalleycollege.ca. It can take up to 5 business days for an

email response. Please do not send duplicate status request emails.

PLEASE READ THE BELOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

STEP 1 - LICENSING APPLICATION FORM REQUIREMENTS

• The form must be clear and legible and emailed. Please do not mail

or drop off hard copies of application forms.

• Please include your Learner (Student) ID number, legal name, and

the licensing body in the subject line of the email (for example,

• The entire form must be emailed in one PDF document only. Other

formats will not be accepted and may not be compatible with our

process (for example, jpeg or word) and could delay your application

process.

• Learners who have previously submitted requests for another

licensing or credentialling body to the SHW are to include in the

body of the email the nature of the previous request (for example,

CGFNS, ERES, CNO).

STEP 2 - TRANSCRIPT REQUEST (SEPARATE DOCUMENT)

The transcript to be issued with the documentation is a separate request.

Transcripts are issued digitally through the MyCreds platform.
