Canadian BSN looking for travel opportunities

[heloooooBCRN]

I'm a Canadian BSN who recently graduated in April of this year. I was lucky enough to get a position in the OR during my final practicum, an in-house hospital specialty program focusing on the OR basics. I got my first job as an BSN in the operating room May 18th and have been working there full time since. There is general, urology, and gynaecology. I also have done some pre-admission and day care clinic rotations in that position. The position I'm in is full time till Nov, then goes to a casual position afterwards (it's a 6month new grad position). There's as many casual and PT as anyone could hope for, but I'm looking to do FT and OT to get some student loans paid off and build experience. I'm looking for opportunities outside Canada, I'm not really picky where at although the USA and Australia is at the top of my list, but would like to work somewhere where BSNs have opportunity to make a good wage and have lots of opportunity. I'm interested in OR, but would really like to get into ER or ICU when I'm able to. I'm also currently enrolled in part one of a two semester ER certificate. Any thoughts or ideas?

Most U.S. facilities prefer 1-2 years paid full time experience for travel nurses as you must be highly qualified & experienced to essentially walk in the door and go to work with minimal experience (obviously with a nursing license already in hand, a Canadian nursing license is only valid in the province where it was issued and not in the U.S. as I'm sure you know)

I would recommend applying at a teaching hospital with a good internship in ICU or ED. You will likely have to sign a two year contract which will solve a lot of problems with social security numbers, licensure, and experience needed to travel.
