That is understandable! I mean health care in the US is not any better but it has advantages to it and I guess the pay makes you want to work more. At times LOL. Goodluck it will all be worth it!

I applied to a company while I was in Canada. It's easy to find a job you just have to go through the interviews and depending on your background, being experienced is always a plus. I moved to Phoenix last November 2021 That 700 USD/Visascreen will help you obtain a TN visa so you can work legally in the States. You need that for your change of status being a Canadian Citizen (assuming you are) moving to the US. If you stop now, all of your efforts and money will go to waste unfortunately.

Hi. I am currently working on my Visa Screen just waiting on one requirement. A validation from my home lans which would take a bit of a time due to the delta variant shutting down government institutions. The AZ BON and Visa Screen are separate applications. I got three interviews within the span of 4 days of applying even with inactive AZ license. I am from Manitoba.

wow that rate is different from what we have. but i guess it really varies with the state

Guess it's not for me then. Thanks for all the info!

Well thank you for replying. At least now i have an idea how the rates are in ND. Thanks again

I currently have 2 1/2 yrs if RN experience in canada..

Hi so im licensed in manitoba and so doing travel nursing requires you to be registered in EACH province that they cover (i.e. Alberta, BC, Yukon, NB, etc) meaning you pay YEARLY registration fee? Right? Then you would be paying 3000cad for registering alone?

Where are you traveling at? All over US or there are only specific states?

So you are doing travel nursing in US already? How is it going? How were you able to get there? Im doing my research. I am an RN in manitoba. I started with a 31/hr rate and now im up to 33 after 2 1/2 yrs and honestly ive never seen any US state having higher start rates. I was an IEN and had to do 1 yr of bridging course. I was a BN back home but its only considered here as equivalent to RN program (that was abolished a year ago)

Okay so my friend has a gf in australia and he was applying since last yr i think but never heard from them. Im not sure if he applied directly in a hosp i gotta ask him travel nurse seems legit compared to the other canadian travel nurse sites i googled. and one more thing ive heard here that there's this filipino guy that moved here in canada but works in saudi arabia and he makes 10000 USD a month. Which is a lot so he's just like going back and forth. Did 3 months there and came back in winnipeg bought a home. Im still in the process of confirming this. Apparently if you are a US or canadian RN saudi arabia is willing to pay you more as for canadian travel nsg, im still doung research cause most of the topics here tackle US travel nsg.

So your friends do travel nursing around NY state only? Im also considering doing travel nursing in the US

Hi does anyone know the rates offered by the travel nursing companies?

Hi i like this thread as it has infor regarding travel nursing and doing the nclex! stephaniern12 how is it going with your travel nursing? We would love to hear what happened and how are you doing to everyone: im a canadian rn but i have no idea where to start in obtaining the nclex. So there are states that are 'easier' to apply in/to get your license? Could somebody give me a breakdown via here or PM with the visa, ssn stuff? Iam really confused thanks

Im a canadian RN and planning to take nclex for ND. Current pay is 33cad/hr, do they consider the work exp with the wage or all nurses start at 22/hr?
