Hello, I am a Canadian RN living and working in Ontario and looking for work in Michigan. I'm just wondering if anyone has anyone suggestions as to safe/nice areas to live and work in. I'm a young female that will be living alone. I've never been to ...

Hello, I am a Canadian RN licensed and working in Michigan. I have applied to California by endorsement, but they have informed me my nursing education is deficient in clinical and theory hours in obstetrics so until I make up those deficiencies the...

Thanks for the info! That's sort of what I'm expecting for pay based on 4yrs for me depending where I go (maybe I can get a bit higher in the major cities), however I was not aware Florida does not have state taxes. The cost of living seems to be che...

Hi there, I am thinking about moving to Florida in about a year and wondering if anyone can give me an idea of the RN wages there and job availability. I have my BScN and will have 3 yrs psychiatric nursing experience and 1.5-2 yrs operating room ex...

I have worked in both countries and applied for a license in Michigan a year after graduating. My intention was to apply by endorsement to California, so you if change your mind about New Mexico and consider Cali I'm not sure if it's worth the money ...

Yeah that is true. I contacted some schools and spoke to someone at the BRN and basically the only course I could take is one that is a semester and a half long and it would cost me $4600 in tuition. So, it's not really worth it when I can easily get...

Or would a travel nurse agency be able to help me with this issue? I know and have heard of lots of Canadian RNs who have gone to California to work as travel nurses, how did they get their licenses? Or would I have been denied a license regardless? ...

I'd just like to say to those who criticize people who are being told they have deficiencies in their education by the CA BON that it is not necessarily the case that they chose a school with "inadequate" education. I am Canadian and completed my BSc...

Hello, I am experiencing essentially the same problem. I am a Canadian RN and my goal is to be licensed in California. I could not apply though with a SSN, so I got licensed in MI, got a job, and once I got my SSN I applied to California by endorseme...

I already have written the NCLEX and gotten my visascreen. Forgot to include that in there that I need to bring the visascreen too. I'll probably just bring everything I can think of just in case. I don't want to get denied and have to try again when...

Hello, I am a Canadian RN and currently live and work in Ontario. I was just offered a job in Michigan today and must move there in the next two weeks before orientation starts. I have been trying to find out exactly which documents I need to presen...

I will check it out, thank you!

Another thought- it would probably be quicker or the same length of time to go the nursing route as opposed to research. By the time you would even get an employer to hire you in research, sponsor you for a visa, and receive the visa to work there yo...

No, I haven't gotten that far yet. As of right now I am licensed in Michigan and I just received my visascreen a few weeks ago. I will be applying for jobs in Michigan soon and hopefully if I get one I can get my SSN and apply to California. When I h...

Hi Patri, I received the private message you sent me but I am unable to respond as I apparently do not have 15 quality threads yet so I can't use private messaging. This was the only way I could respond to you. I have applied for my visascreen and am...

This is to Bethlearning: Sorry, this site won't let me email you back because apparently I do not have "more than 15 quality threads" yet. In response to your email, although I know it doesn't answer the question in this thread really, I have had to...

I am just wondering what the job situation for RNs is like in Michigan right now, particularly for new grads with less than a year's experience. I live in Ontario, graduated with a BScN last April, have been working as an RN at an acute and long term...

I am hoping to work in California as well someday as I have family there. I am currently licensed and working in Ontario. I applied to Michigan first and I am waiting to write the NCLEX. Once I become licensed in MI I will work there for a bit in ord...

That's ok! Yes, you must fill that out and mail it to the CNO with the $16.95 (sorry I just double checked my bank account and saw the money order was for $16.95 not $16.75). I called the CNO and they said you cannot request verification over the pho...

Hm yes the CNO takes forever to process your registration, but you will get your number before your actual license is mailed to you. MI requires them to send a license verification, so you must mail the request for verification form to the CNO with a...

Oh and Alaska doesn't require Canadian nurses to take the CGFNS or have a SSN, you just have to fill out a SSN exemption form and get one once you get employed there. Just another idea for a backup plan if MI doesn't work out, you can always apply th...

Hello! I graduated from York University in Ontario in April and I am currently in the process of applying for a Michigan license. My end goal is to get to California, but they require a SSN to apply and Michigan does not so leave that space blank on ...

I just graduated in April with my BScN and am currently working as an RN in an acute, forensic psychiatric hospital here in Ontario, Canada. I have family in California and wish to find work and move there for some time. I need to write the NCLEX, so...

Yes I was wondering between my chances of finding an employer and whether I could get a TN visa with a license pending or just applying to the Michigan state board of nursing, which doesn't require a SSN or CGFNS certification from Canadian nurses. I...

I go to York and chose it due to location as I could still live at home. If I could go back I would choose a better nursing school father away. York's school of nursing is pretty unorganized, you don't know your placements until right before or somet...
