I think people suffer from the 'grass is greener syndrome'. They think that the US system is better, higher paid etc. Having worked in both the Canadian and US systems I know that there are pros and cons to both systems and I could not really recomme...
Unfortunately kevin, the CNO does require this. One way I've explained it to my employer is to say that you are thinking of doing some work in Ontario on your vacation time (let's say at a summer camp for a few weeks). That is of course if you have e...

Actually, I don't know of any NP schools in Ontario that don't have an all NP faculty. Some other provinces may be having difficulty finding enough NP's to teach, due to the relatively small numbers of NP's in their provinces. There are now over 1000...
Having worked both in Canada and the US I am pretty certain that a US RN would be equivalent to a Canadian RN wether or not you have your ADN or your BSN, the difference may be wether or not you can practice in Canada as an RN with an associates degr...
I the university is fully accredited then it probably would, however before starting the program check with the college of Nurses in BC to make sure they do!
