RN or RPN career as a traveling nurse from CAN to US

You are going to need the RN after your name and at least a year or two of experience, but be aware that travel nursing is not a specialty in nursing. And you need good, solid experience.

Take the time to check out some of the threads on the travel forum for more information, but I would focus on getting thru an RN program first.

Is it better to go to school in Canada or the US for nursing? I'm currently enrolled for the RPN program in Ontario and was hoping to do some traveling after I'm finished but just read that they do not hire RPN in the States so I'm a bit disapointed...Is there a college or university that would recognize your RPN program if you wanted to bridge over to an RN in Canada or the US ?

There are many universities that have bridges for LPN to RN. They are usually full time programmes. You have to check in your local area.

Nursing education works very differently up here than in the US.

Are you talking about a registered psychiatric nurse or a registered practical nurse?

You would have to take bridging program which would involve at least a couple of years of university.
