Hi, Thank you to those who have answered. My husband has applied for registration in Alberta so hopefully we will here back soon. I have family in Toronto but from what I have heard they are requiring newly registered nurses to have degrees rather than a diploma. My husband and I are both cardiology nurses. I met him In Riyadh where we both worked for a few years. We lived and worked in Newcastle,NSW Australia for 5 years and now are living in Al Ain which is in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. We have enjoyed the travel which nursing has offered us but now as we are both in our 40's with young children, we would like to settle somewhere permanently. Speaking of getting older, I am curious as to where the older nurses go?? I don't think we want to be doing shift work for the rest of our careers. Bye for now, Marisol
