I am due to qualify form the bsc adult nursing degree in august and am desperate to come to work in toronto/brampton/oakville area asap. my family and i lived and worked in toronto for a year in 2005 and my son was born there (he has dual citizenship). I am coming to william osler hospital in august on a 4 week elective in the emergency dept and just want to emigrate soonest.i just need to come over with a job as we couldnt afford to live otherwise (we would have funds to support but wouldnt be happy moving wothout a job!) I am just in bit of limbo as i am not sure on what to do next? wait until august and see how elective goes? apply to cno (i already have paperwork!) and go from there....

gosh i thought places where crying out for british trained nurses!!!.....
Also be aware UK training has changed a lot and no longer generalised like the USA and Canada it is more specialised which is why you still need hours in Obstetrics, mental health, Paeds and general adult. Only exception is RMN (registered mental nurse) is accepted by some provinces on the west coast
It's hard work wherever you go! Having said that if you're desperate to get out the UK (& I hear you on that ) & don't mind where you go than Oz/NZ will be better bets as they (at least for now & as far as I know) still accept the newer British training. Also Oz was not as affected by the world economic probs & so doesn't have the job freezes of elsewhere.
Bear in mind that if you ever plan to move from there though you will still need those requisite hours.
having spoken to my wife it is definately toronto area we want to go..we just loved it there when we lived there...she was teaching so thats how come we go to be there for a year..we also want our son brought up where he was born!!
(plus getting out of uk is a good option at the mo!!!lol..)
i will just have to see what comes of my elective placement in august..and apply for my registration and see what they say!

To get a work permit you will need a employer. If the college allows you to apply for a temp license this will allow you to work as a restricted RN until you sit CRNE but you will still need a employer
