If I get a BSN in nursing from a college in canada, what do I have to do to work in the US as a nurse
If I get a BSN in nursing from a college in canada, what do I have to do to work in the US as a nurse?
I want to get my BSN in Canada because it is the closest school to my home in WA state, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to take the RN test in WA with a Canadian degree. Can I do this, is it complicated, is it worth it, does it cost more, and how do I do it if I can.

Call the RN Board for your state and ask if they would honor it straight out or what other things you would have to do to get them to.
2 :
contact the state boards in any case they will tell you what to expect there such a lack that they should be over joyed to hear from you
3 :
First thing to do is to contact your state board of nursing and find out what they need from a foreign educated nurse. Even if Canada is just down the street from where you are in WA. Next, talk to the school in Canada. Being so close to US, I am sure they have some insight into this problem. All I know is that with the shortage of nurses, I can't imagine it would be too difficult. Have worked recently with RNs from Canada in SE of US. They were able to get the state RN licensure very easily. Just be prepared to ask a lot of questions and get everything in writing. It will cost more because you are going from one country to another but I am willing to bet that the college has incentives to get Americans to its campus. Just ask, find out and get it in writing.

Try contacting the Washington State Nurses Association. They will probably know what requirements you would have to have to work as an RN in America. Their address is: 575 Andover Park West Suite 101 Seattle WA 98188 ph - (206) 575-7979 fax - (206) 575 - 1908 website address: http://www.wsna.org/snas/wa/ Good Luck.

of course -contact the country's Board of Nursing for more info.

No you wouldn't have to take the whole program over again. RNs are RNs. You will likely only have to take the licensing board exam to eb able to practice in the province that you choose to work in. http://allnurses.com/international-nursing/us-rn-new-340031.html This is a good post to read. It is someone who trained in the USA but wants to work in Canada, I think that some it will apply to you too.

Would Canada and/or the USA allow you to work with a degree from Finland
Would Canada and/or the USA allow you to work with a degree from Finland?
Education is free in places like Finland and Norway and probably others... but if a Canadian or American went there to go to school and then came back to North America.. would their degree be recognized if it is from Finland or Norway? Would some degrees be ok but not others? -social work degree -psychology degree -nursing degree -teaching degree

Sure. A degree is a degree.
2 :
Check with the state Dept. Of Education, office of the professions.

no. youb ahev to have some wierd thing, but obviously you dont have it. so youd have to come here and do it all over if you really wanted to. cuz, like theres docs from like india who are WAY WAY WAY WAY SWAYWA WYAWAYWYAYAYW better than docs here, but since they dont have a degree for here, they cant do anything, it was oliema total waste of time :)

I think you're on to something with the list. Specific locations require specific certifications. I know a teacher from Florida who wasn't allowed to teach in another state until she received a specific certification. But there is no global convention for normal jobs - such as office work / wall street etc. It's just a matter of convincing the employers of your qualifications. Now, in America, we do require work visas (green cards) - which has nothing to do with a degree. I don't believe they are hard to get if you are a skilled worker - but I've never tried - being American by birth.
