I am almost finished the Registered Practical Nursing program here in Ontario and I was wondering how exactly to go about working in the United States (Orlando). I do not want to waste time between graduation and working but I have had the run around and so many different answers. The recruitment agencies state that it IS possible to work in the U.S. as an RPN, however, I am still a little lost on how to apply/what to apply for, which visa, and immigration processes in general. Has anyone experienced this personally? Should I get in touch with Immigration in the U.S.? Thanks for your time J.

Hey everyone! I'm in my second year of the RPN program in Ontario, Canada and I'm looking to permanently work in Florida. Someone told me that recruiters will come up from states like Florida and Texas to "grab" lots of Canadian nurses, and that there are a lot of benefits in doing so. I have also heard that it takes months or years to find a job down South. I've had so many different answers and responses and was hoping someone could answer a few questions :) 1) What is the American equivalent of an RPN? 2) What is the process of applying and/or being recruited internationally? 3) If I want to upgraded to RN while living and working in Florida, do I apply/pay for school as an International Student still? Thank you so much!
