NURSING: How do employers view nurses who completed 2 year accelerated versus 4 years B. Sc. N.?
I am in the process of completing a 4 year bachelors degree and then I want to do a two year accelerated program in nursing afterwards. I was wondering how employers view myself in comparison to someone who has completed the full 4 years of nursing in their bachelor's degree and also how my work skills in nursing are predicted to be having completed fewer placements. I live in and plan to work in Ontario Canada if that helps.

An accelerated BSN contains the same amount of nursing courses as the 4 year BSN. The difference is that you take only nursing courses each semester and you don't take the summer off. I have not found a place that cares how long it took you to earn the BSN, only that you have it and the RN license. In theory, if you did the 4 year route, you could work in a hospital during your time off, but gone are the days of the student nurses working alongside nurses, learning the ropes before graduating. Now, your real training occurs when you get your first RN job. Most places don't want to employ a student nurse as anything because jobs are tight and the student nurse will leave when she/he becomes an RN.

As a Canadian Registered Nurse, how do I qualify for travel positions in the U.S?
I currently have my R.N. Degree in Canada, must I write the NCLEX in order to take a travel nurse position in the southern United States? I am particularly interested in Florida travel nursing positions.

You need to take both the CGFNS before the NCLEX. You need to pass both in order to work in USA as RN Ask for more info from any of the nursing traveling agencies

You would need to pass thr NCLEX and you would need a license in any state that you wanted to work in as well as a work visa.

Are MBA's from Glasgow Caledonian University acceptable in Canada
Are MBA's from Glasgow Caledonian University acceptable in Canada?
I'm looking at doing a Business and Management Degree at Glasgow Caledonian University but I don't know whether it will be acceptable or transferrable when and if I decide to move to Canada. I've often heard from my Canadian friends in Alberta that their tertiary education in Scotland was not recognised over there. (My friends are in the nursing and civil engineering sector mostly). Are MBA's from Glasgow Caledonian accepted in Canada then?

There is a glut of MBAs throughout North America. Ony MBAs from top-tier schools have real value. You may get a job in Canada with your unknown MBA, but the job will be seasonal and will consist of clubbing seals.

How hard is it to find a job in Canada while living in the U.S.
How hard is it to find a job in Canada while living in the U.S.?
I would like to live near Calgary and have worked in health care (Allied Health-not nursing) for over 25 years, most recently in a supervisory position. I have a Bachelor's Degree as well. Would I be able to find something comparable up there before I move or do Canadian employers only deal with those who are permanent citizens? I have no work visa as of yet but I would like to find a job waiting for me there when I move.

Over 30 years ago, the Canadians got tired of American rif-raf. So, they started using a point system, to determine who could get 'Landed Immigrant' status. You can pretty much, only get Landed Immigrant status if you have a job offer, and you can ONLY get it if you were offered the job while you were still in the US. In other words, you may not go there and look for a job, you can only look for that job by long distance. Further, you may not be able to get such a situation in Calgary. However, you might be able to get such a situation in Whitehorse. I assume they will let you look for a job in Calgary while you're employed in Whitehorse. I wanted to live in Toronto............. Never got to.

www.cic.gc.ca is the Canadian immigration website. It isn't the easiest site to make one's way through, but check it out and see how you do on the point section. If you have some special skill, you might get an invitation to be interviewed for a job while still in the US and then the employer would fast track your application. That really is mostly for PhDs and engineers and the like. However they seem to be short of just about every kind of worker in Alberta these days. All other things being equal, employers prefer to deal with citizens and premanent residents - it's simpler. I don't know what you mean by "Allied health", so I can't say if there is likely to be a comparable job in Calgary.
