Hi,

I'm from Montreal and I've been a nurse for 4 yrs now. 2 of those as a travel nurse, but within Canada only. I'm presently studying for the NCLEX-RN (grrrr) and if everything goes well, I would like to work as a travel nurse in the States (or maybe move there if I like it)...I was wondering if there was any other Canadian nurses who've worked (or are still working) over there and who could give me some feedback...especially if your first language is French like me...I've worked only in the English system since I graduated but I still have a little French accent:D Feedback could be about the agency you've worked with, getting used to the American health care system, etc. Agency wise, I've heard about Cross Country TravCorps and American Mobile...any thoughts on these two or others you may have heard off???

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S. This is my first post, so be gentle..LOL

Thx
