As far as volunteer work goes, almost all nursing homes and hospitals have a volunteer program, and would love to accommodate you. As far as high school courses go, be sure you take chemistry and algebra, both will come in handy in nursing school. My guess is that you could probably call universities and colleges in your area to find out requirements. Good luck! I'm a nurse in the US and love my job.

If you want to become a registered nurse in Ontario you will have to attend a university as all provinces require a university degree for entry to practice. University nursing programs will contain courses that focus on nursing theory, human biology or human sciences, ethics, research, and communication. The following courses in high school will prepare you for a university nursing program. Chemistry - basic chemistry for students who are not going into a chemistry degree math english 12 biology psychology Your guidance counselor at high school should be able to help you select the right courses to meet admission requirements for the university programs in Ontario. Since nursing is a regulated profession in Canada you cannot do nursing work without a license so you cannot volunteer with a nurse however, any volunteer work you can do at a hospital, nursing home , or community support agency will help you to interact with nurses in a variety of roles and understand more about the scope of nursing practice for a Registered Nurse.

If you want to be an RN in Canada you have to get your BSN( 4 year nursing degree from a university).The 2 year diploma program does not exist any more.You would need to complete the prerequisites for a BSN program which are typically about 10 university credits, mostly sciences, math and some english. As to which school you should go to it would depend on what province you are in.Nursing school curriculum's in Canada are heavily regulated and all nursing programs have to meet high standards so it wouldn't matter eally where you went.

Immigrating to Canada as a nurse without selling house first

Immigrating to Canada as a nurse without selling house first?
I am 51 and have spoken to the immigration board in Canada and they say that i must sell all of my possessions first in order to take the exam. But if i don't get the job then i have to buy another house. I don't really want to take this risk. Is there not another way to get a job as a nurse without selling my possessions?

There is no "immigration board" in Canada. Are you sure you have not been talking to a private agency who want to tie you down? You don't have to sell your house or possessions. Sounds like a scam..
2 :
No you don't have to sell anything before taking the exam. If you wish to be licensed as a nurse in Canada you have to contact the college of nurses in the province in which you wish to work. They will evaluate your education and experience and decide if you qualify to write the exam for licensure. Most provinces require that you have your BSN degree to be licensed as an RN but there are some exceptions. For more information check out the International Forum at www.allnurses.com. Also be aware that in most areas nursing jobs are scarce right now. Besides getting a nursing license you also have to obtain a visa allowing you to work in Canada.

That's weird and I've never heard that stipulation. However. Do you have a friend or family member you trust, that you could 'sell' your house to for $100? Then if you need to come back, you could buy it back for that amount. If you immigrate successfully and decide to stay and then want to sell your house, your friend, or any real estate agent, can sell it and forward the money to you.
4 :
You are getting very incorrect information and you need to contact the real 'Immigration Canada.' Try Citizenship and Immigration Canada here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp Canada does require financial support to be in place for immigrants, but they are unlikely to ask you to sell all your possessions based on a job interview. Be sure you are not being scammed. Do not send anyone a money order and do not give your credit info over the phone or by email. Talk to someone at Immigration and remember: If they can't speak French, too, you are probably not talking to a Canadian federal government official.

How do I become an army nurse in Canada

How do I become an army nurse in Canada?
I am interested in becoming an army nurse (in Canada) and I was wondering how I'd go about doing this? I know that they pay for your schooling if you go to the Royal Military College but they don't offer nursing there so how do I get them to pay for my schooling and provide military training?
