I would hope so! CNMs are only certified by provincial bases not by federal gov. I am really interested in advanced nursing but no many chances here. Maybe I have to go to states to get my education. Canada is a very nice country. But sometimes it is not so good for career development. Everything is very static and no flow. No private hospitals here. Almost all the nurses here are unionized. Everyone makes pretty much same. Sometimes it is good thing and sometimes it is not. Thanks for your suggestion and I will definitely check out.

Thanks so much for your explaination. I guess the situation is quite different in Canada here. NP positions are very limited and most of jobs require MSN is on research side. Anyway, it seems that you have done pretty well in academic life. I am pretty sure you will excel in MSN program as well. Good luck!

The NP program here in Canada does require you to have 2 years experience before entering. (But I guess you do not care too much about Canada, do you? :) I am not sure about MSN program. You may gain research edge over other RNs but what else? Not like NP, you still can not subscribe prescriptions, can you? Maybe it is different in states??

A question maybe a little of out of topic. I am wondering why you would take MSN since you already have so many degrees? Will a MSN really help you with your career?

Hi, I am also a BSN students thinking about moving to Texas. I saw someone was talking about the pay rate is $20 dollars in other thread. Is that for RNs? It is really kind of low compared to other states and countries.
