⚠ Important for GNM Holders
GNM (General Nursing & Midwifery diploma) holders are eligible for international nursing but the pathway varies by country. In Canada, GNM qualifies for Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN/RPN) registration in most provinces — not RN. In the UK, GNM qualifies as a Registered Nurse (RGN) through NMC. Always clarify your specific qualification with us in your free consultation before starting.
