   USA to Canada

   loriangel14 replied to Jouba's topic in Canada

   I only mentioned citizenship because the OP said they were going to maintain dual citizenship. I know you don't need citizenship to work in Canada. You most certainly do need to be fluent in French to work in Quebec. It's a requirement.

   Can a US trained CNA work in Canada as PSW or HCA

   loriangel14 replied to HannaK1's topic in Canada

   The board of nursing has nothing to do with PSW credentials. It would more depend on finding an employer that will hire you with the training that you have. You should be fine.

   UofT Nursing for an RPN?

   With all due respect you don't sound mature enough for nursing yet. You need more than good grades. You have replied to people here with attitude and you will gave a tough go of it in a BSN program.

    Do I have what it takes to be a nurse?

    loriangel14 replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah multitasking and getting yelled at are part of the package, so is stress.You need to be thick skinned. Not all places have 12 hour shifts so don't get too hung up on the idea that you will only work 3 days a week.
