I am currently in a similiar situation. I am enrolled in the second careers program through Employment Ontario. I am currently in my second semester for Pre-Health. Second careers only pays for 3 years of schooling (1 upgrade course and 2 years of career training). I have applied for the RPN course as second careers will cover that because it is only 2 years. I am thinking about finishing my RPN and working part-time while finishing my additional 2 years to get my RN degree. I was thinking about transferring down to the States (Texas, California or Florida) to work in any of the following departments: Maternal and Newborn, Labour and Delivery or Neo-natal. I have heard there is a high demand for nurses down in the States because of our aging population. Any suggestions?
