U.S. to Canada?

You would have to take the Canadian nursing exam, it is written 4 times a year. You would have to register with the board of nursing in the province you want to work in to sign up for the exam. Ontario is CNO (www.cno.org I believe and it should have links to other provinces' bons). You may not be able to work in certain province's without a BSN. You would have to contact their board of nursing to see how the new requirements affect you.

Immigration is fairly easy thanks to NAFTA. All you have to do is have proof of your nursing education/lisence and job offer letter and you can get a visa at the border. You can look at Canadian hospitals by going to www.hospitalsoup.com and clicking on the Canadian hospitals link, then typing in the city you are interested in. Do you have a particular area in mind?

Hello, I am a U.S., associate degree R.N. living in Buffalo. How difficult would it be to be able to work in Canada? Find a job? Do I have to retake the exam? Any input would be appreciated. I have always LOVED Canada and every once in awhile I toy with this idea but never follow up with it basically because I am not sure how it would work.
Thanks again!
