Canadian student studying nursing in Michigan

[salmaria]

hi everyone,

i'm currently living in canada, and i am in the last year of my nursing program at henry ford cc in dearborn, michigan (i commute back and forth). i will be graduating in december and getting my associate degree in nursing. i will then apply for the nclex-rn exam and hopefully pass in order to become licensed in michigan. a friend of mine recently told me that the american border will not allow me to work in michigan unless i have a bsn, and that my adn will not be enough even if i'm licensed in michigan. is this true? i'm wondering if there are any canadians, who obtained a nursing degree in michigan, that can help me with this.

thank you.

Hi everyone,

I will be graduating in December and getting my Associate Degree in Nursing. I will then apply for the NCLEX-RN exam and hopefully pass in order to become licensed in Michigan. A friend of mine recently told me that the American border will not allow me to work in Michigan unless I have a BSN, and that my ADN will not be enough even if I'm licensed in Michigan. Is this true? I'm wondering if there are any Canadians, who obtained a nursing degree in Michigan, that can help me with this.

Thank you.

I do bridge and they can be so rude!!! just really know your rights!!!.Good luck with everything and I will assist you in this confusing endeavor
