Canadian seeking for job in the US

Published

Specializes in RN, RPN.

LPN working in hospital in canada. Currently processing my licensure in PA. Prior to bein LPN I was a PSW here in canada as well. What job can I apply for while waiting for my license as an LVN and RN?

Specializes in Geriatrics, Dialysis.

Without an active nursing license, you can't work as a nurse so your options are limited until that license comes through. If you need a job immediately look outside health care and look for something temporary or at least don't admit during the interview that you plan to leave the job pretty quickly. 

I'll admit I know zero about PA requirements but maybe it's possible to work as a nurse assistant? However, unless that state is slow at processing your license application I can't imagine many employers willing to take you on knowing you will leave the job as soon as your license is issued.
