1. Immigration to Canada from the US--time frame question

   bizzymum919 replied to CDN_NPtobe's topic in International

   The US does NOT accept dual citizenship. The US is very nationalistic and when you apply for citizenship, they want you to renounce your former country. You can do it verbally, but it is not official until you write the governement of your former...

   bizzymum919 posted a topic in Canada

   I am starting this thread because I would like feedback on the positives about nursing in Canada. I hear so much about people moving to the US and I would love to hear from those who are staying, living and nursing in Canada. Cheers,

3. Canadian nursers leaving to work in the USA.

   bizzymum919 replied to RN Student-NIC's topic in Canada

   It is distressing to find that so many Canadian nurses are so unhappy with their work conditions. I know of a few Brits who have moved from the UK to Canada because the conditions in the UK were so bad and they find Canada a lot nicer. I cannot see...

4. LPN to RN

   bizzymum919 replied to KimFutureLPN's topic in International

   LPN's are getting phased out in many positions and they are mostly "grandfathering" the ones already on the units. If you want to specialize in a certain area it is best to go for your RN. I am going into the bridge program (LPN -RN) so that I will...

5. Canadian nursers leaving to work in the USA.

   bizzymum919 replied to RN Student-NIC's topic in Canada

   It is funny how the nurses from the UK are coming to Canada and the US and the US nurses are wanting to come to Canada and the UK. Some people here in the US are willing to forgo the pay and the perks of working here so that they can have the way of...

6. Wanting to Move to Dallas

   bizzymum919 replied to fssmith's topic in Texas

   The Dallas area has some of the best salaries in the country. The cost of living is not too bad and nurses do quite well financially without having to work themselves to death as in other states where the nurses get paid a lot less in a high cost of...

7. Nursing in Canada

   bizzymum919 replied to we_rn's topic in International

   I did not know that US nurses are covered under NAFTA, but I know that NAFTA only applies to temporary work. I do know that the "score" to gain entry as a skilled worker is now 67 as opposed to 75 as it was before. I took an survey and I scored a 71...

8. Nursing in Canada

   bizzymum919 replied to we_rn's topic in International

   Canada is a lovely country, but the immigration is such a bother. I thought it would not be hard to emigrate there if one was an RN, but I have heard that there are not enough permanent jobs for immigrants and there are only temp/agency work and Ont...

   It makes one wonder what sort of people are taking care of our loved ones. :uhoh21:

10. Aussie wants to go to Wales

    bizzymum919 replied to MsHB's topic in International

    With all the talk of Wales and it may just bypass my home country England and go a bit more west of the country. There is a show called Location, Location, Location and they show places outside of the "normal" parts of the UK. I have just finished...

11. Leaving the UK for greener pastures

    bizzymum919 replied to roxannekkb's topic in UK

    SueIP, How is Wales in regards to the nursing shortage ? I have heard of a lot of English residents moving to Wales to get away from the rat-race. A lot of people have moved into the countryside so that they can also live off the land and live the ...

12. Race relations and nursing enviroments

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International

    Wow ! Wales and the Isle of Man. I bet that was an experience. Excuse my ignorance, but I was afraid if I went to those parts of the UK, that I would stand out like a sore thumb. :imbar How was the nursing environment in those places in regards ...

14. Race relations and nursing enviroments

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International

    Houston has some of the best hospitals on the country due to the private organizations that fund some research areas of medicine. The pay and job market in Houston is also quite good. I understand that nurses from the UK and other countries are co...

15. Race relations and nursing enviroments

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International

    Not to leave anyone out. I thank everyone for sharing what they see in their hospitals.:kiss It seems that most hospitals are trying to do proactive measures to keep racial tension down to a minimum and also letting people of colour express themsel...
