Hi everyone, Me and my wife are thinking about relocation to a family friendly livable city in US with warm climate. We are from Vancouver Canada area, both of us are RNs but my wife has been a stay home mom for last few years (and going to keep doing it for another couple years). We have 3 kids who need elementary school, I will be looking for a full time position in critical care. We will be looking at buying a house too. In the mean time we were looking at SF California area and central Florida... What would you suggest? Thanks!

Has anybody heard something about working in the South Nassau Communities Hospital? I have an offer from dilysis of this center, so any comments or rumors are very wellcomed!

After CRNBC finishes its evaluation of your application and approve it, you receive the temporary registration. Than you have several month to pass the CRNE.

This how it works in BC: http://www.healthmatchbc.org/HMBC_nurses.asp?pageid=658

I fixed it!

I am about to apply for work permit and have contacted both VCH and Fraser. Don't know which is better... Have anyone worked in a Fraser hospital in Vancouver area? Any comments, opinions about work conditions, benefits or specific facilities? May be you can compare that experience with other hospital?

As far as I understand, you need no agent in order to apply for immigration as a RN. Just apply for a nursing regulatory body of a province and than apply to a health authority of that province (for immigration or work permit).

Hello! I have an offer from GF Strong Vancouver, BC. Any information, comments and even rumors about this facility are kindly wellcomed.

Great! TNX

Yes, it helps. TNX.

What about shifts. Are they the same everywhere, 12 hours? Or it is internal policy of each facility/ health authority?

Different for good or for worth, or till the death part...

I am looking for info about wages, work conditions and different facilities. Info from the battle field.

I am looking for more nursing forums. Please share links!

What is the difference between Vancouver Health Authorities? Is there different wages, work condition, facilities?

Where did these numbers come from?

What is the ebst province from nurse's point of view? I mean working conditions, wages and etc.

Did anybody find some CRNE questions on the web?

This is hard situation. And strange too, since words "shortage" and "nursing" are always together. In Israel, did you work in hospital mimshalti? I need an advise how to resign. Feel free to connect me privately .

Hello everybody! Are you talking about next retrogression already? Is the retrogression over, temprorary over?I got lost in the sea of information you write here!!! Is there a chance for me to receive the green card within a year if I sign a contract now ( I passed NCLEX already)?

Thank you very much, Marijke. Are these authorities private or of the state? Is it the only way to find an employer or there is some agencies and hospitals I should contact directly?

I am RN from Israel. Nowadays I study for the CRNE and already have the temopary registration. In addition, I am looking for an employer in Vancouver. What is the best way to find one? Should I contact hospitals directly or to look for an agency?

Retrogression again... But can an Adjustment of Status be done after the retrogression, when green cards are available? ( I am not in US and do not want to play games with uncle Sam ).

Hello again! As far as i know there is a way to get work visa via Adjustment of status, if I in US as a tourist but have an employer and have license. Is there something like this for the Green Card? Thank you.
