Hi, Norwaystudy You're so helpful! I do have Associate Degree in Nursing (AD --that's how we abreviate it) from community college. Just thinking now--is that better for me to take RN to BSN program here, in the US and then go to Norway or better to t...

Dear Norwaystud thank you very much for your response. It's so helpful info. I just began studying Norwegian and doing pretty good so far. For me it is mixture of German, English and my native language--all of them I know, so much easier than was wi...

I'm European, educated and working as a RN in the US. Planning to relocate to Norway. Any nurses in Scandinavian forum from Norway. Any ideas/advices about licensure/job search in Norway? Very happy to have Scandinavian nurses here, at allnurses!!!

Norway

Florida, and Texas-a good idea. I like Arizona very much. But I will not find different nursing there....

I agree to Janfrn! I just sent all my papers to CRNNS. Before, I contacted them and was explained that as a RN with ADN from USA, I probably will not need a BSN; however, my credentials will be evaluated. I passed NCLEX, have valid RN llicense and ha...

Looks like I'm not alone who misses CNA job. I hate so many parts of my job as a RN--endless charting, not having time to sit at the pt's bed and talk/hold his hand, dealing with administration staff who go by numbers, charts etc. Nursing in the Stat...

Just curious about living and working in Nova Scotia, esp. Cape Breton. Anyone from there?

Many thanks for a such detailed info about CB. I seriously think about accepting CB offer to work there. They offer me pretty decent salaries. I believe that I will have much more questions when it get closer to relocation there. Have a nice weekend!

Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut offers good sign-on bonuses and has extensive new grad training program. Try to contact them. I'm sure that there are many hospitals in USA that will be more that happy to hire you. We desperately need nurses. I...

We think about relocating to Nova Scotia. Cape Breton looks like a nice, quiet place to live. But as you never were in NC, we never were in Nova Scotia. I was contacted by Cape Breton Health saying that they're in need of nurses. We looked on the int...

Livermets, how did you do on exam? I spoke to someone from LHSC and she encouraged me to apply for the Ontario license even if I don't have BSN in Nursing. She stressed that they need nurses. I think I'll try.

I just came from work feeling so proud of myself. The long story make short--The elderly patient -female-came on our floor with a posey vest and other restrains. She was violent in ER--we were told. I was approached by co-worker--male-- asking for he...

what is RCS?

Lucinka, I can be wrong but you can not speak language other than English in a healthcare facility. Unless you are asked to do so--to translate, to speak with the patient who does not understand English, etc. But no chatting in your own language! No...

I'm a nurse with ADN in US, relocating to Canada. Waiting for evaluation package to come from Ontario. Yes, nursing board is checking credentials on a personal basis. It's worth to try. My other option is Alberta. A nice province with a lot of nursin...

I'm European, successfully working in US for 11 years and relocating to Canada soon. I think you'll be treated the same as you'll treat your patients and co-workers. Language will improve quickly in English speaking surroundings and you'll get a grea...

Livermets, good luck on exam! Keep us inform how you're doing in Canada. Did LHSC interviewed you by phone while you were still in UK or while in Canada? What specialty/hospital you're going to work in? Best regards!

Zolly, you gave me a useful information. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for replies. I just got immigration newsletter about extreme shortage of nurses in Saskatchewan and Alberta. I probably need to look for the job there. If Canada does not have many travel nurses-- good thing! Travelers not always help...

Zolly, Happy New Year! Many thanks for info. You made my day! I was discouraged to look for a job in Canada, b/c read few posts stating that nurses need BS in the order to work in Canada. I'll try to contact nursing boards of some provinces and ask f...

Can someone help me by advising what part of Canada would license me as a RN/LPN if I have only AD in Nursing from US college. In addition, I hold MS in Economics from my country and work experience as a nursing, home health, and rehab aide in the US...

Willing to relocate to Canada and am interested in London, Ontario. However, I have AD, not BS and work in the US. Did hear that Ontario requires BS. Any suggestions where to easier to get a job with AD in Nursing? Have only 1 year of Med-Surg experi...
