Graduate RN--How do I work abroad? Any info needed!

[whiteoleander5]

Hello all,

So a friend recently traveled to Bermuda, and was told that RN's are in demand over there... You can get a 3 year working contract, plus they pay for your apt right next to the hospital, etc. I understand that many places do this, not just Bermuda... As a graduate nurse waiting patiently to take my :eek:NCLEX:eek: (::FINGERS CROSSED::), how does one even get started working abroad? Do any of these places even consider graduate nurses, or do you need experience as an RN first?? And if not, where do I even begin...?

I'm young, and I want to travel--Working abroad as an RN would really satisfy me on so many levels... And any information on this topic is greatly appreciated. Thanks!:)

could you please re write this so it is easier to read? remember when going overseas and english is not first language you have to sit a english exam and using websites like this is a good time to practice writing in english. also remember when writing in patient notes text talk is not allowed and only acceptable hospital abbreviations will be accepted.

also terms of service of the site requests

english only:

while allnurses.com, inc hosts visitors from around the world, it is based in the united states and much of our membership is english speaking. due to our inability to moderate threads in other languages, we ask that interactions be in english for the enjoyment of as many posters as possible.please do not type entirely in capitals as it is considered shouting on the internet.

desiring to maintain professionalism, text speak (also known as chatspeak, txtspk, texting language or txt talk) is discouraged. along with using proper english spelling and punctuation, this shows respect for the owner, other bulletin board members, guests, and makes it easier to read your message.

I am a nursing student in the US and I am considering looking for a new grad program in Australia actually. You described your program pretty well and i am interested, do you know if they accept new grads from a different country?

What are job prospects for nurse jobs in Canada?

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Not great at the moment but it may also depend where in Canada you are looking

hello nidorabayola.. It depends on where you go. Quebec for example hires lots of foreign nurses. Alberta is also a good province for nurse jobs. You can also see if your chances are good by going to a site like jobsaloon com

Last I heard was Alberta was not a good province for jobs as many nurses both experienced and new grad struggling to find work

[loriangel14, RN]

Neither Alberta or Quebec are good places to look for jobs.
