Should I cross the border?

Interesting enough. But can I apply in Minnisota and work in Michigan under a temp liscence? Do i need endorsement from Michigan Board of Nursing...Does that have a cost?
MMM work in T.O. What opportunities might you tempt me with? I work on an acute medical unit (only 6months exp). Willing to train for other opportunities...
oh and thanks for your VERY quick response...

thanks traumanurse.
I do have to say... Most importantly, I feel that Canada is loosing good Canadian nurses because of LACK of full time job opportunity. Although income and location(weather) can definately be positive attributes, i am just dreaming of a steady rotation with full time hours .
In weighing all the pros and cons, I am leaning on working cross boarder, living in Canada. The only dread would be the commute. 70minutes each way. Having friends in Windsor would ease that situation since I could crash for two nights a week... What good friends they are!!!
For others considering the same idea... here is some info that I found out that could help you on your journeys:

1. Have your college or uni send the Michigan Board of Nursing your transcript. My college did this free of charge. Note: Must be sent from your accredited learning institution.

2. Fax CNO the license endoresment or verification of licensure which can be found at www.michigan.gov/healthlicense
with your name, credit card info and exp date and authorization signature. (Cost is less than $20). Do NOT forget to fill out Part 1, on the form. CNO will send the endorsement to the Michigan board for you.

3. Send to the Michigan Board of Nursing your Appn for Registered Nurse Liscense also found at www.mighigan.gov/healthlicense. With the fee in U.S. dollars by money order.

In 6-8 weeks ? you should receive your temp license and license by examination.

I hope that helps anyone stuck in my situation. It should make your job of acquiring Michigan Nursing License a bit easier...
