Thank you, Lydiagreen. That is very helpful - I hope that the degree program will be the same - since the diploma RN program has gone in Ontario very shortly. I do know that under the Diploma program RPNs were given credit for their first year of RN, now, under the degree program, we would have to start right back at first year
I am told by my instructor that a "bridge" program can't be too far off in the distance, however.
As for whether RPNs can work in the states, I have disappointing news. No, we can't. The NAFTA agreement (which allows nurses to avoid the Greencard/citizen problem) does not apply to anyone other than RNs. Thats straight from someone at a Travel Nurse Agency that has been in business for 14 years. Sigh. Oh well, Lydiagreen has given me hope!!!
Do Canadian LPN's get to work in the US?
