Yea the degree would work throughout U.S; given that you have the proper certification from your home country.

http://www.ana.org/gova/federal/gachrt97.htm Default Re: Canadian RPN trying to get into the US RN bridge prgramme. You would not be able to work while you are working on the degree, at least not more than twenty hours per week. you would need to come over on an F-1 visa. There is a CPT that is available that covers that. LPN license does not qualify for a working visa, only the RN does. So, you would not be able to get a visa that would permit you to work while you were in school. Depending on where you get into school, you may be able to find a program that will permit you to take many of your classes on-line and only come into the US for the clinicals and some meetings. The biggest issue is where do you plan to work once you have finished? Also, depending on the school, some may require that you sit for the NCLEX-PN exam before being able to start the program over here. Univeristy of Phoenix has programs in the Detroit area, you may wish to check that route out. __________________ Suzanne RN, BS, MBA CanadianGradSchoolRN Registered User Default Re: Canadian RPN trying to get into the US RN bridge prgramme. Hi, Im not sure if u have looked into similar programs in canada. There are quite a couple of programs like that in the toronto area. There are RPN to BScN programs at centenial college/ryerson, mohawk college/Mcmaster and University of Ontario institute of technology. This programs where all created last year and there would probably be more coming up this year. My sister is an RPN and a student at UOIT. After she became an RPN she would be doing 2.5years of schooling to become an RN with a bachelors degree in nursing. I believe for most of this program you need to have 70% to get in. You do not have to have any RPN experience (Just the certificate or diploma). The program is quite rigorous though. I believe the other two programs mohawk and centennial are three year program. You do one year at the college and two years at the university to get your degree. If you choose to go to the US. A cost effective school would be Wayne state university as they have a program for Ontario resident where u will pay almost the same as you would have paid if you stay in canada. http://allnurses.com/forums/f108/canadian-rpn-trying-get-into-us-rn-bridge-prgramme-160167.html#post1677384

Hey there, they're all in bed at the moment : ) hehe I'm Aussie but oversea's... They are always looking out for people in these fields, but it depends on what city you are going to live in... I find Australia quite expensive, but you would be able to live fairly comfortably... post this question maybe tomorrow, day time, their time, you might get some better answers, but state the city aswell... Sydney's amazing, but probably the most expensive... good luck and have fun! EDIT - I'm an idiot, I thought I saw Sydney somewhere!! haha...Well yeah Sydney, quite expensive, but sooo worth it! It's just got a buzz you don't get anywhere else in the country : )

Employment opportunities for Nurses are plenty. I posted some of this info for another question, but you may find it useful also: A 3 bed house in Western Sydney may cost you about $1200 per month. Travel from there to the CBD would take about an hour on the train eg: Leave Penrith 7:54am arrive Central 8:46am. The cost would be $ 187.00 per month. Food may be about $150-$250 pw for a family of 3-4. A single person may be better of closer to the City, in shared accommodation, maybe $100pw ? www.flatmatefinders.com.au shows Inner West at about $125-$150 pw Western Sydney has some good hospitals though, and with housing currently being cheaper there, it may be worth considering. But it depends on what you are really looking for.

Nurses are in high demand for all of the details go to http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/medical-practitioners/index.htm The cost of living can be high depends on where you want to live. See this real estate site for buying and renting http://www.domain.com.au/

Lots of nursing jobs.... no doubt. If possible, consider going to a smaller city (like brisbane) thn Sydney as life in Sydney is not really life. Australia is not really expensive i wud say... especially if working full time.

Why is a B.Sc required for admission into medical schoo
Why is a B.Sc required for admission into medical school?
I was just curious because I'm planning on going to India for medical school in order to bypass having to obtain a B.Sc in any field in general. My original plan was to get a Bachelors in Nursing and apply to medical school, but after some research I figured out that going to India is also a good option. However, I'm slightly confused, since I wanted to know why a B.Sc is required for entry into medical school. Is it because theres something thats taught in the four years of undergrad that is necessary while studying as a doctor? Because in India, anyone with marks high enough can apply immediately after highschool. Also, on a sidenote, is it wise to take this path, because I don't want to end up practicing in India, as I am planning on coming back to practice in Canada. And if I have to come back, what process do I have to go through in order to be able to practice medicine in Canada with a degree in India?

You can have any degree to get into medical school. Just do the prerequisites. It is hard to come back to canada to practice. only something like 10% is able to come back. A couple of my friends went to medical school in the carribeans and they are stuck practicing in usa.

Where to find the right school in US if you not a US citizen
Where to find the right school in US if you not a US citizen?
Hey, my question is probably a little too broad but I will try to give more details so that someone will be able to give a good advise. I am going to American 2 year college (have one more semester) so it is time for me to think about a University to transfer to get my bachelor degree in nursing. But I am not American citizen, I am permanent canadian resident. I was thinkin about a school in Canada but I would rather be in US. I know that probably the best way to find scholarships is simply to contact a school you want to attend. But what if I sent emails to so many schools and none of them gave me a normal responce about the scholarships they provide. I just can't even pick the school I would wanna try to apply for. I have 4.0 GPA, I am in honors and I will join Phi Theta Kappa next semester. I hope someone had deal with the same dilema, so I would really appreciate if someone could help!

Go to www.petersons.com. This is a comprehensive search engine for all of the colleges in the USA. You can search by major, location, tuition, sports offered, admissions ease, size, lots and lots of things. You can register on the site, but you don;t have to to do the search. This wll be the best way to find schools, it is how I found mine! There are links there to the schools websites as well. Go to the Financial Aid website, they will detail all of the aid available, though since they aren't accepting scholarship applications now (Oct-March) they might not have them posted). Financial aid offices are busy right now, and they aren't always totally helpful. You really need to call them, that will guarantee that they will help you.. There are specific scholarships for international students, you can't just apply for most of them. Unfortunately most of it will probably have to come from loans.

I would try going to the websites of the colleges your interested and see if they have scholarship info there, usually they do. Also, you could try calling these schools and setting up an appointment with financial aid. I was wondering, are you planning to work here in the US? If so, many hospitals here have programs where if you work for their hospital they will pay for your education. You might want to look into that. There are so many colleges here so your best bet is to find the one that you think you can afford.(Nursing programs down here are expensive). Hope that helps!
