Hi, Fiona It'a a tough decision to make but keep in mind that lots of Canadian nurses are leaving for work in States. Why? Better pay, better medical benefits, chance for advance in your carrier. I'm sure Vancouver it's a nice city, with lots of rain. When I came to Canada,(Toronto) like yourself alone, it did not help me in any way that Toronto was a nice city, beautiful when you look at pictures and all, but....what good made me, when you coudn't find a job because you I had not canadian experience or, network(relations to bring you in). iN CANDA DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU KNOW, BUT WHO YOU KNOW. ( IN YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT) And..... Canadian friendly???? Think twice... Depeds who you ask. If you are asking a canadian ofcourse, everything is beautiful. If you are asking a foreigner, I'm telling you the anwer will be different.(because we've been throuh a lot). Make sure that you find something to make you happy. Good luck in your career.

Hi, I'm looking for a reliable recruiting agency to help me find a job placement in AZ, as an LPN. Do you know any? What chances do I have to find a job as an LPN in USA. Thanx a lot, your help means a lot to me. Val

than.... what kind of visa i need in order to work in usa as an lpn ? or what is the process of paper work re: this issue. ( for my case)

Can I ask what recruiting agency did you used? I'm also looking for relocation and need some info. Thanks a lot.

I have lots of friends RN left for CA, they are doing wonderful. I heard lots of good news re:CA receptable to RN's and RPN's, but the cost of living went up a lot. Lots of californians moved to Nevada or Arizona, because of this issue. You've got to be real reach to live there those days. Sorry I coudn't help more.... but be careful with Hhawaii, not to friendly to incomers, if you know what I mean...! Take care,& good luck. I'm thinking AZ to relocate. PS: let me know what you decide.

Are there any LPN's job opportunities ? Thanks a lot........... if you can help, I really appreciate. Val

Hi, Ryan and wellcome to allnurses! I'm an pshychiatric RPN in Ontario, and I'm doing some research same as you, thinking to move to the States.

If you go to the Bord Of Nursing to the state you are willing to go and search job market for LPN in US is RPN in CA,than call some hospitals and you will see the chances we have.
