   I went into nursing school thinking oncology was my future. Did my RN consolidation on a leukaemia unit. Hated it. I'm in Public Health and adore it.

   UOIT/Ontario Tech University RPN to BScN program

   Toronto1977 replied to firlom44's topic in CA Programs

   Toronto1977 replied to MrsSilverFox's topic in International

   I know Select Medical is the main travel nursing agency for Canada wide, but maybe look into them as a place to start? Perhaps they've dipped their toes into the US as well?
