    Canadian RN to work in US

    Fiona59 replied to Olga B.'s topic in Immigration Advice

    No,. The NCLEX is not "aimed" at a state. It's a national exam. Just like we apply to a provincial college for a practice permit, Americans apply to a state board for a licence. You need to know...

    Fiona59 replied to Laime123's topic in Philippines

    what's your take on this?

    Fiona59 replied to stumps's topic in General Nursing

    Floor nurses get to deal with the "challenging" families for days and months on end. They can get pretty intense. We also get to deal with prisoners and those lovely GSW patients post

    Fiona59 replied to SU2013's topic in Nursing Professionalism
