Okay, so the website says I don't have to live in Nova Scotia to obtain a NS licence. It doesn't say I don't have to live in Canada, however. It doesn't say I do, either, but still. The form lists "province", not "state or province", so I dunno. I also think I'll have to get a Bachelor's degree before I can apply (I have an Associates, which I don't know if there's a reciprocal nursing degree in Canada). Which is not horrible, because right now I have no reason to get a NS licence except the OMG HOW COOL IS THAT factor, and the fact that if I ever wanted to apply for a work visa, it would look really good. I think I'll just email them. I printed all the forms out, anyway, because OMG.
