US trained nurse in Canada

Specializes in Infusion.

Interesting question for you all. I am a Canadian, soon to be dual US citizen as well. We are living in the US, but live very close to the border. Actually the closest hospital is in Canada.

I am an LPN, US trained, WA state, and am going back for RN degree. My question is how difficult/easy will it be to work in Canada?

Thank you for your time!

Sounds like you are on the BC border. Jobs are tight there.

Are you working on a BSN? Required entry to practice point in Canada.

LPN is a two year programme.

Your education has to be evaluated and found to be equivalent to the Canadian education.

Its not a matter of simply finding a job and crossing the border on a daily basis
