I'm originally from Ontario and currently live and work in Washington. I'm an RN, but I think it is basically the same idea, there is a national licensing exam here, it's computer based and can be written at any time. You'll need to contact the Washington Health Professions Quality Assurance (equivant of CNO) to apply for a license and to write the exam. A great way to get advice is to talk to a recruiter. I did that years ago now with medistaff, which I think was bought by onward healthcare. Even looking at the recruiting websites can be useful. Do you have a plan for obtaining a work visa?
Hope this helps,

Hello all,
I am new grad from Canada in the RPN (LPN) program. I have written my CNO (college of nurses of Ontario) exam last week so I do not have my results yet. I am moving to Washington sate in a week and I was wonder if anyone could answer a few of my questions:
1. Can I write the LPN exam write away (will they accept me straight or will I need to take a few courses?)
2. Where are some good programs to do the bridging form LPN to RN?
3. What are wages like for nurses??
Thanks alot,
Navid
