NP school in US or in Canada?

I am have been an RN for 7 years now and will be completing my BSN in 10 months, in May 2023.  I want to go straight on to NP school in the fall of 2023.  The conflict is that my family is planning to move from the US to Canada in Summer 2024.  So, I will be moving halfway through my program, and then practicing as an NP  in Canada when I graduate.
 

I am torn on whether to start NP school in the US or wait until I get to Canada.  I really don’t want to delay starting, and I would prefer, overall, to attend a U.S. school anyway.

Would it be possible to start school in the US and transfer to a Canadian school when I move?  Or possible to continue an online US NP Program while living in Canada?  I worry about finding clinical sites in Canada while attending a U.S. program.

Any input appreciated.


Thanks!

    It is easier to complete your schooling in the US and then transfer your NP credential to Canada.  Also depending on the province there are fewer recognized NP specialties in Canada.

    That does sound like a good idea, but isn’t an option for me since I will be moving in the middle of grad school.  The bill question is:  if I start school in the US can I transfer to a Canadian school partway through my program?  Or can I continue taking remote classes at a U.S. school while living in Canada?

    No you cannot transfer to a Canadian school partway through because their admission requirements differ from the US. Of course this is something you will need to research yourself as you may find a different answer. Yes you CAN take online classes for a US school however you will need to come BACK to the US for your clinicals which cannot be avoided depending on your speciality.
