4. Any Canadian nurses out there?

   natalyia replied to freetofly's topic in International

   Absolutely! Most of them function throughout the entire US. The problem with the Canadian system is that some provinces have health regions, and some function as the US does - each hospital for themselves (Ontario). That is why nursing agencies can e...
