Thank you!

I currently work in US but live in Canada. Graduated college in Canada and got my Canadian and Michigan licenses as well. My Canadian license expired about a year ago since I have not worked here (Canada) since getting the license and saw no purpose ...

No worries. You answered my question and more! I'm actually a Canadian working in the US and plan on staying that way. Thank you for answering!

Have you gotten your license yet?

Hi. I am a Canadian RPN (registered practical nurse). That means I went to school for two years and was able to obtain a College Nursing Diploma. After getting my license, I went over to Michigan and was able to obtain an RN license. This was withou...

New Nurse: Hi, ma'am. I thought it'd be great to buy you a cup of coffee for tonight's shift. WomanRN: That's all for me? Where's yours? New Nurse: Yup! And I already had mine. I'll be getting more on break. Would you like some then, too?

Really? Jane, we're working extra hard tonight. John here thought it'd be great to have a GIANT cup of coffee.

WomanRN: I'll bring around the crash cart, hon. ManRN: ....

I have been hearing a lot of complaining (I get it), but no ways to 'fix it' or make it better. I get the fact that the job of nursing takes a lot out of a person, but if we say we are there for the clients (patients), then we are there for the clien...

So I had a question and posted in a different post but no one answered. And I started a new topic. Ok that's out of the way. So for the VisaScreen application: I wanted to know how long it took for the application to be approved if all the documents...

Okay. So I'm gonna sound like creeper here. But I went on your page and looked at your topics there. I noticed you said you were from Quebec. Now I'm not being mean or prejudiced here, but I think because you were from Quebec, the CES people didn't t...

No, they're not medical professionals.

I never did the VSC and I did the NCLEX-RN exam already and passed. Now I'm doing the CES application. You're now scaring me, lol. I had a professor who's a nurse in the US as well and she never anything like this. And you mean VisaScreen for the med...

No, the CES. I have to send them a transcipt from my school. So why would I need to do the CES, if it's part of the VSC?

If I'm Canadian and I live near the borders, do I still need to do it?

You have to pay for the credentials evaluation? Isn't that part of the $500 fee? I think $500 is enough to tell a newbie like me that they're a bunch of crooks....

This is to the Canadians who are registered nurses and working there. I got a question for you guys. I have been told that I'm not eligible to work in the States unless I get a Visa Screen. Is that true? And have you gotten it yourself? Or is it all ...

How long did it take get the VisaScreen for those who applied for one? Thank you.

Awesome. I just started going through the application. I think I'm good at getting most of the requirements done within a week or so, but if I have more questions, I'll be posting them here. Thanks again.

Hi, SamanthaElizabeth: Will the fact that I already got my license affect the outcome of the VisaScreen? I mean to say will it cause more trouble or will it make the proceedings go faster?

Apparently the program was equivalent to the RN-ADN program in the states. I also looked into the curriculum for RN-ADN at the U.S. colleges. They were basically the same.

I never went to school in MI. I went to St. Clair for Practical Nursing, got my RPN license, and then applied for a RN license over in MI.

How long did it take you? And what sort of documents did you have to send in? Thank you. SilkyKRN

I have already done the NCLEX exam and passed. I was told I didn't need it because I was just across the border from Michigan. Now I'm being told I need it to work in the States along a letter from the potential employer to the border office for a wo...

Hi. So I applied to a RN job posting in Michigan and within an hour or so, they called me to set up an interview . This is for a hospital and it's contingency nursing. The interview is this coming Tuesday. Now this is my first 'hospital' interview, s...
