Your sooo right - not ready4primetime. That would take much longer and cause lots of problems with the Border. I thought she was a permanent resident. never mind then lol. Good luck with that.

I'm sure you can. It didn't take me 2 years. I did the same as you and got my NY license just in case I was going to use it as I live on the Niagara border. I lucked out and just happened to browse thorough some postings and voila got an offer and le...

Good to see others insight in this. In my case it's just extra money for spending over there. But yeah in the ED I work at they don't take breaks at night. There are times when it isn;t so busy but then alot of times where it's full and you can;t kee...

That's Intersting StudentRs, I initially got a Michigan License but it wasn't considered equal to NY state. The mentallity on guns is a little crazy.. I just wanted to mention that hawaii is beautiful but it is very very expensive for food, cost o...

I work on both sides of the border. It took me some time to get everything together. i got my Ny license and then applied for cgnfs. To me it's all a money racket. Almost like I had to verify my credendials 3 different times. COst about 1000-1500 cdn...

It takes awhile, they do outsource their background/ref checks. i worked there for a few years. Great place to work. I left sue to high prices of housing in TO but would go back their in a heartbeat. You'll see stuff there that you might not see else...

I went to Ryerson and we had students that came from UofT becuase they thought there was toomuch theory. that was years ago though. I chose Ryerson because of the location to downtown and they have superb practical placements. Some of the staff are a...

That'll be interesting. They wil definately have to change the content especially dosages, measurements etc. The canadian exam which I remember did have questions about our health care system which I think is where alot of international nurses failed...

I gotta friend who did taxes for a living one time, his dad had his own business as well. He said sometimes when you call cra you'll get three different people telling you three different things. He's gonna find out as his sister is running the tx bu...

Hey guys, Just wondering where people claim their acls or occupational improvement courses on their taxes. Called revenue canada and they havn't a clue. I got a tax recipt for the course. Revenue Canada told me that it must be a designated school li...

Thanks Janfrn for clarifying this. My wife and I are ready to send ours off but thought the 500.00 in courses I spent (which come with a tax reciept) might be claimable. arrrgh. Somewhere along the bottom of my tax recipet is note that says "just...

kaplan and saunders review, the thick one.. there are lots of critical thinking questions on the exam i found. know your basic drug calculation plus know how to calculate mcg/kg/min medications. I'm surpirised that there were some ICU?ER based questi...

hey there, I found some it was similar to the canadian exam. Lots of charge nurse questions and picking the patient you would see first or which patients you would assign to staff (lpn, rn, assistant). mine went for 5 hours and stopped at 265, i t...

Took the NCLEX Fri am september 2 2010 and the PVT worked. I paid the 8.00 and it said I passed. Thank you all for your information. In canada we have to wait 6-8weeks mandatory for our result and it was torture. It's nice to have the piece of paper ...

I just did my nclex in Buffalo on Friday am. Got the pop up and sure enough paid the 8.00 and passed. I also had 265 questions on the exam and thought it was over. wahooo!. I believe it worked

I currently work in the ICU in canada and did my NCLEX today. All I can say is man, their were some medications I've never even heard of. ALot of questions where any answer could be the correct one but whats the best response. I got 265 questions, on...

helps if you have a degree in computer science although not really necessary. I am an RN but have been a computer analyst/network engineer for 10 years in a hospital before becoming a nurse. Helps if you know microsoft products well. Some hospitals ...

Hey guys, My dilemma is that I am currently working in a busy hosital in Toronto but due to increase cost of living and with two little ones, increase cost of day care we need to move. Houses in the GTA are redicuolously priced. Anyhow, I have an i...

I hear ya Fiona, I was hoping to wait until I complete the interview and then get to the point where I am just waiting for references to clear before telling them. There was a written contract stating if you left early you'd have to pay the critical...

Hi Jewels, DOn;t think of it as the nclex, nclex much harder and more physiological and anatomy and medications. The crne is psychosoicial but I found that most international nurses faulted at the community health section. I would read over communi...

you rock ! thank you again. your a big help :)

Thanks alot for the info short stuff. I have family in Tecumseh and like going down to windsor for visits. WRH says they have part time but you need to get full time through internal posts which isn't much as some nurses are coming back from the sta...

Actually I don't mind paying taxes for free health care. But when the cost of living doesn't adjust to it. There are smaller cities which have a lower cost of living and that's where I am trying to go. I would not even hesitate to choose a reformed h...

Hey SHort stuff, are you doing the cross border thing to Michigan? I am desperate to get out of Toronto. I have been waiting impatiently for jobs in London or Windsor but there's nothing. I spoke to some managers and they said that in order to get f...

I am also looking at working int he states. I have avery young family and need to support them as much as possible, need full time. Ontario = no full time. I have full time now but cost of living in Toronto is through the roof. I don;t want to commu...
