Wow! That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Would you consider school nursing? No nights, no weekends. Can get busy like a small ER but it has its fun side...

Hi there, I have been in the States for nearly 20 yrs, and it took me 3 yrs to figure out what to do... But here's what came out of it: A) Call the board of nursing in the state you want to practice;or check their website ( check fl.gov.org or something like that) I found out if you have a Canadian license ( I had one), it is usually pretty easy to transfer, especially as you have been educated in an English speaking province and if I recalled well, wasn't necessary to take the NCLEX...I did take it last July, after having been out of nursing for quite a while, passed it ( amazingly!) and I got a job for the summer here in CT (jobs are harder to find). Definitely, call the board of Florida...If you do have to pass the NCLEX, it is an interesting format, but if you know your stuff, no worries! Good luck!

I'm glad it works for you...I'm a Canadian nurse who as return to nursing here in the US after many years of being a mom... Things were not easy here, and it took me 3 years to navigate the paperwork, tests etc... I think Canada is well organize in regard of licensing:yeah:...I wish you the best for you and your family!
