What are differences in job duties of a RPN/LPN in Canada vs. the U.S.? I just completed my education in Canada, so I have no experience as an employee yet. I am considering working in the U.S. for 10 years or less, and then possibly returning to Can...

Hi everyone! :) I was wondering what the scope of practice is for an LPN in Pennsylvania without taking any additional courses after graduation. Which of these would I be allowed to do in a hospital as an LPN? - change dressings - subcut. & IM in...

Thanks :)

Thank you! :)

Hi everyone! :) I was wondering what the scope of practice is for an LVN in Texas without taking any additional courses after graduation. Which of these would I be allowed to do in a hospital as an LVN? - change dressings - subcut. & IM injection...

Thank you!

I'm not sure why everybody assumes that I haven't done my research on visas. Honestly, some of your responses were rude, and none of my questions have been answered. I would like to end this conversation please.

You've got to be kidding...

Thanks AngelicDarkness. :) I know that recognition is important to many people, and that's completely understandable, but I have other reasons for possibly wanting to move there. The weather is one. I was wondering whether Canadian hospitals would wa...

Thanks for your input. Why are you saying that it would be difficult to get your PR back?

Thanks!

This might be a silly question, but I really don't know anything about it. If I want to get licensed in two states for the first time after being a new grad, how do I do that? Do I have to write two separate licensing exams? What if one state is part...

Hello! As a new grad nurse, I would like to apply to a specific type of department in lots of hospitals all over, and then if I receive no job offers, start applying to other departments. I would like to send applications to hospitals even though a j...

Thanks! :) You gave some good advice! I have had no luck so far with getting a job in my chosen specialty, so I am now starting to hand out general applications. That's a good idea to get in the door of a facility, and work my way to my chosen specia...

Thanks! That's a good idea. :)

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you!!

Thanks so much, LadyFree28!! :) Do you happen to know the scope of practice of a LPN/LVN in Florida, Tennessee, or Texas? Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for your input! :) My RPN/LPN program was two years, but I'm under the impression that LPN programs in the U.S. are one year. Is that right? In Canada, LPNs can do most things that a RN can do - with a few exceptions. For example, LPNs here ca...

Yes, I know. However, I could get a visa if I receive a full-time job offer. But I am wondering what the job duties of a LPN are in the U.S.? I am wondering because RPNs/LPNs in Canada have two years of education, but I think most LPNs in the U.S. ha...

I do not have a green card, but I might be able to get a visa. However, I would like to make an educated decision first.

Thank you very much!! :)

Thank you!! All replies are appreciated :)

Thank you very much!! :) The tasks you listed are what I thought an RN does.
