whats the possibility of moving to another country with a degree in Psychiatric Nursing?
So I am a male, grade 12 high school student here in Canada. I am looking into going to Stenberg College for Psychiatric Nursing after I finish high school. So I was wondering if this type of nursing is truly in demand and with this type of career/degree could I move to the either the U.S, Japan (If over there I plan on taking basic Japanese after I finish PN here in Canada), Australia and or even Singapore to work there as an RPN (Registered Psychiatric Nurse)? Thanks =)

many countries require you to get the schooling and training in there country or to pass there medical exams to practice medicine.

There aren't any jobs in the USA for nursing! Just google "No nursing shortage" or "I hate nursing". Please educate yourself on this field before you waste 4 years and tons of tuition on a dead end major.

I've heard Queensland university is awesome, so if you get in it'd be a good option. Buuuuut;; uQueensland is viewed as the better of the two universities, however if you study and ace your units that's more important than the university you went to. So it comes down to where you want to live, my friends think Queensland is boring, and NSW - Sydney is ~fun...it's got heaps of crap that keep you entertained. But yeah, really you need to look into the two cities. (: - I'm from sydney, and i used to hate on the weather, now it's ok, - I find there are heaps of awesome people here, then there are shit ones. - Sydney hasn't got many natural disasters, unlike Queensland.. - UWS is pretty crowded (i've been there), if you meet good people, you'll do awesome, if you don't you'll hate your life (i've met heaps of good ones, then there are the bitchy ones.. ) - lecturers are nice in uws, they're helpful. apparently first year is easy (my friend did nursing there), then second year is all memorise this learn that..so serious! at uws, i think the 'clubs' are shit .. soz, only being honest. it's easy to pass units, the lecturers tend to be helpful when you ask them shit lol. if you speak to people in your tutorials (lectures are too packed, and heaps of people only speak to those they do know), you'll make HEAPS of friends. also, i tend to talk to random strangers, and apparently that means we're friends.. so hey, talk to randoms! :P OHH and advice, uni food is HORRIBLE. Make sure when you get here you know your way around, so you don't have to go through with that shit..or befriend people who you can go eat with. i go with my friends and it's way cheaper and nicer than uni food :) living on campus... i don't know, i've heard it's cheaper to live close to uni but not on campus, so if you're here for the whole degree just live on campus for a semester or year, then see if you can get better housing. good luck! and hope you get into the university you like

How much money do nurses in Canada make annually
How much money do nurses in Canada make annually?
I plan on getting my AAS in nursing and I wanted to know if I could start working with that degree or would I have to start with my bachelors.

Nurses in Canada tend to make between $52,000 and $74,000 per year. I believe that an Associate's Degree would be sufficient for you to get a job. But, as with almost all jobs, the more education you get, the better your opportunities will be. So it might be smart to get a Bachelor's Degree. I advise you to talk to your school's career counselor. He/she can probably give you more specific information. Good luck!

How to find work as a R.N. in Toronto, Canada?
I am currently studying to get my Bachelor Degree in Nursing to become an R.N. and I plan to, with-in two years of graduating, to move to Toronto, Canada. I know a decent amount about the immigration process, but I do not know about finding work. Would I be able to secure a job before moving, or would I have to wait till after the move? All and any help is very much appreciated. I currently live in Orlando, Florida in the U.S.

What country do you live in NOW? Nurses in Canada are a "in demand job category " so if you become a graduate RN in your own country, a Immigration application to come to Canada would be "fast tracked " as we need more nurses here. You must apply and be accepted BEFORE you can seek work in Canada. No employer can hire you with out actually seeing your work visa papers, and your Social Insurance Number card, that proves that you are legal to work here in Canada. You will also need to sit a "qualifying exam " and get your Ontario "right to practise " certificate. Obviously you are fluent in English so that testing won't be needed. The Ontario Nurses Association is the Provincial licensing body, for RN's. Here is their information website. Their HQ in in Toronto. http://www.ona.org/ Send them a email, asking about your situation. Good Luck. Jim B. Toronto.

There are a quite a few hospitals you can apply to. All of them have a careers section of their websites that will help you out. You could also look at doctor clinics, and other areas, but I think to start with looking at the hospitals would be easier. These are the one's I know of: Mount Sinai St. Michael's Toronto General Toronto General East North York General Toronto Sick Kids Sunnybrook Baycrest Bridgepoint Health Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Bloorview Kids Rehab Humber River Hospital Princess Margaret St. Joseph's Scarborough Hospital Toronto Grace Toronto Rehab Toronto Western I'm sure I've left at least one out, but that'ss a good list to start with. Google each for their websites and look up careers/where to apply. If you get a job offer, you are well on your way to immigrating.

In order to work as an RN in Canada you would have to apply for a nursing license in the province in which you want to work. ONA is actually the union for RNs in Ontario, not the licensing body. You would have to contact the College of Nurses of Ontario at cno.org to apply for Ontario. You would have your education and experience evaluated and have to pass the CRNE exam. You would not be fast tracked for immigration as nursing jobs are generally in short supply in most of the provinces, especially for recent grads.
4 :
You need at least one year of experience after qualifying before you can apply for immigration. That application takes about two years. You can apply for a work visa but your employer will have to prove there is no-one in Canada to do your job before he can sponsor you.
