Hi everyone, I wanted to ask which hospital system is better overall & pays nurses more. Duke Health or WakeMed? I'm considering Duke University Hospital, Duke Raleigh, and WakeMed Raleigh Campus.

Hi, I've decided to just do travel nursing in the US when I move to quebec. Nursing in quebec isn't worth it to me in terms of pay. They require so much and don't even pay that much. I'd rather just live in Quebec and pick up assignments in the US from time to time. I'm hoping to do real estate investing in Quebec though.

Ah okay! So I could definitely live in Canada and still practice remotely for whatever state license I have even if I'm not currently residing there. Got it. Thank you! I'll certainly check with the BON for whatever state the remote job requires licensure.

That's what I'm referring to. The single state. If nurses are living abroad how are they maintaining a single state license if they don't rent or own in the state.

Thank you for the information. How would I maintain residency in a particular state if I'm living abroad and don't have a house or apartment in the US? Would I have to use my parents address or something? I wonder how the nurses abroad are doing it.

Thank you! I understand now.

But don't travelers (travel nurses) who don't reside In the compact states obtain the license?

I'd have a compact license and that's the thing. I would tell them I live in Canada.

Hi everyone, So I'm thinking about moving to Canada, specifically Quebec, and would like to know if anyone knows of a US company that'll allow remote work while living abroad? I want to keep my US nursing license active but I'm just not sure if I can use this license while living in another country? I know a lot of NPs do it though.

The other provinces use NCLEX. I believe even nurses from the other provinces have to take quebec's nursing exam since they don't use NCLEX.

I'm also from NY trying to move to Quebec but looking up the process is scaring me. We'd have to take Quebec's province nursing exam which has a limit of 3 times within 2 years and be proficient in French. Did you take the exam ?

Yeah one of the agency told me I'd need Canadian experience even if I'm a travel nurse in America. So I'll most likely work as a staff for a year in Quebec and then start traveling. I'm thinking about doing traveling in America and Canada though but we'll see when the time comes. I'm over America's healthcare system. Which province did you move to?

Hi, so I've done research and seen other Canadian nurses post. There are travel agencies just not within Quebec. Also many people have said you can get by with just English but yes I speak French & I have my BSN. I don't think you need citizenship to work there. PR works fine. These are the agencies: Solutions Staffing Select Medical Connections Travelnurse.ca Sympatico Medical Solutions

Hi , Thanks for your answer. I am planning on getting my canadian nursing license. I've looked up the process and options to get immigration status so I'm might use skilled worker. But, I'm not really worried about those 2. I'm more so concerned about the opportunities for nurses such as travel nursing and per diem jobs for people who don't want to be staff permanently.

Hi I have a question. Do Canada not have travel assignments ? I've been looking but most information are Canadian nurses traveling to USA.
