  4. Time Management

    RGN1 replied to TinaK's topic in International Nursing

  14. UK nurse relocating to USA, is it worth it?!!

    RGN1 replied to AandE angel's topic in Nurse Registration

  15. Thinking twice before moving to Calgary from UK

    RGN1 replied to cocoy2go's topic in Canada

    Not sure you'd get a work permit for the UK so I'd go with CARNA (pay is better there too!) Canada is a much better place to be at the moment - well according to all the league tables on best places...

  17. While waiting for retrogression

    RGN1 replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    Canada doesn't take kindly to being used as a stepping stone. That said why work as a caregiver? What a waste of nurse training. Either stick where you are & gain experience or apply to nurse...

  22. UK nurse relocating to USA, is it worth it?!!

    RGN1 replied to AandE angel's topic in Nurse Registration

    RGN1 replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing
