Canadian BSN Student to American MSN / Grad school

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi, I'm having a difficult time deciding where to pursue my BSN education. I currently live in Pennsylvania and have the option to stay here in the US or possibly go to Dalhousie in Canada. My end goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner, so there will be more schooling after my BSN.

Will getting my BSN in Canada make coming back to the US for my masters/ grad school extremely difficult?

Does anyone have insights on Canadian to US nursing grad students? Or just in general?

Any info at all would help make this decision easier (:

You would be best to go to school in the country you plan on working in. If you go to school in Canada you will be considered a foreign trained nurse when you return to the US.
