Hi Fiona, yeah i I have posted in both as I'm interested in both - however it seems that the US is even harder to work than Canada. As yet I've not vacationed yet in Vancouver. Im just suprised that leave is so poor - but in looking to move for more of a lifestyle change. Im unsure however if it's worth it if I need to do a years course to prove I can work with OG, peads & mh patients ... but it if I do this - would I be able to work in the states in the future?

Are these the nursing refresh or bridging courses - the look stupidly expensive !

HI thanks- but I failed to find a specific uk - us thread - esp as I'm a 'project 2000' nurse and don't have mental health, peasant or og practical placement (thought my whole career has new on ED so I've had plenty of experience. can you suggest any specific threads? Ta Ash

Hi, thanks - so I've done the theory in those areas but not done any placement in those areas (apart from adult & my X 2 ED placements) so what would likely happen? Thanks ash

Hi guys, So have been trying to find a thread about this but not sure as often stuff is outdated. So - basically I'm looking into moving to somewhere like San Fan / Seattle / West coast really.. from the UK. I graduated in 2003 with an Advanced Diploma and work to then get my Degree in Nursing. I now work part time in an Emergency Department in the South West of the UK (about 26 hours a month). In addition to that I teach in my full time role at a community college in the same City. I'm basically trying to find out if it is possible for me to move to the States . I'm an Adult Nurse and have spent most my career in Emergency Departments or healthcare teaching. I basically would like to know what I have do to see if I can get a job - how much the pay is - what the holiday is like - and what process you need to go through. I know that there are different levels of nursing - so what are the pro's and cons of the different levels. Also as a UK 'Adult RN' will I face any difficulties in working as a nurse in the States. Thanks in advance for any help. Ash
