Is it possible to be a pediatric nurse and move to Canada?
Hi :) I'm only 16, but nearly 17 and next year I'm going to university to get my degree in Child Nursing. I was just wondering can you be a pediatric nurse and live in Canada? I heard that countries like USA, Canada and Australia are very hard to move to and live there. I heard you special jobs that they want and need, like cook and electrician. My science teacher said that with nursing you can travel the world, but is it possible to be able to live in Canada while being a nurse? Thank you xoxo

Have you by any chance seen this? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp It might help you a considerable amount if you're serious. I'm also inclined to mention that Canada is not nearly as uptight over immigration as the USA and to a lesser extent, Australia.

Are you coming from the UK? The difficulty with moving to Canada(and the US) is that our nurses are not specialist trained, we are trained as general nurses. You need theory and clinical hours in child, adult, OB and mental health nursing to be licensed over here. In Canada you must have your BSN for licensure. One excellent resource for questions like yours is the International Forum at allnurses.com.

My (Canadian) daughter chose to become a Public Health Nurse. It was a very, very good choice. She's working the hours she wants, and she loves the work. Since the 1960s, it has been more 'feminist' to become a doctor than a nurse, and most of the nurses who trained before then are now retiring. There is a growing scarcity of nurses. However, the demand for pediatric nurses is -> relatively <- low. Because the 'Baby Boomers' are now going grey, there's going to be a very strong demand for all geriatric medical workers of all sorts. Nursing is a very wise career choice!

Oh yes, go for it. Find a college in Canada and get the credentials there. Canada is a Socialist country, they take everyone.

Is your friend in the U.S with a nursing license and just going to work in Canada? If so, I don't know how they can possibly restrict her nurse's license for pulling out of a contract. (if she is Canadian license, then I have no clue). I could be wrong here, and she needs to check with her nursing board, but I've never seen or heard of that. But the contract thing is pretty serious ---- they make alot of money on the nurses, so when one backs out of a signed contract, it most likely becomes a legal issue -- as with any contract. Hopefully this was a 13 week assignment that she signed and not longer. If so, why doesn't she just go and avoid the legal hassles that this will cause. She isn't going to be able to fake the illness part - they investigate I'm sure. My daughter is a travel nurse, so far she has had a great experience. The way she looks at a new assignment, is if it is awful, it is only 13 weeks - then she can go on to something new. Guess the best thing is for her to keep in contact with the recruiter and find out if there really is anything that she can do - will they give her another assignment instead (staying with the same agency, not taking another assignment with a different place.) good luck to her!

I was a traveling PTA, contracted for 13 weeks. In my contracts myself or the facility always had a way to opt out with a 30 day notice if its not working out for whatever reason. So she may have to go and put in a 30 day notice when she starts. But if its only for 13 weeks it could be fun, unless there is something that is making her want to stay. But just tell her that its a great opportunity, whats holding her back? As far as the lic., I dont think that could be possible. Since she signed a contract, they may be able to doc. her pay, or some how take it out that way, but they cant take her lic.

You would need to have your BSN ( 4 year nursing degree) and at least a couple of years experience in critical care(ICU) nursing. While Canada has a couple of recently developed CRNA programs, they are not currently using them in the Canadian Health Care system. If you came to Canada to study you would be here on a student visa. Once your education was over you would have to return home. Being here as a student does not entitle you to stay afterwards and work. You would have to apply for immigration or a work visa to come back.

How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada
How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada?
I'm just a newly graduated nurse in the Philippines when we move to Ontario, Canada. I wasn't able to take the board examination for nurses in the Philippines. They say I need to go CNO (College of Nursing in Ontario) to be assessed. Then after that I still need to go to college? Is that true? Can somebody please give me the details? Please and thank you!

You will need to apply to the CNO to have your education and experience assessed by them. If you meet their requriements you will be granted eligibilty to write the CRNE which is the nursing exam for Canada.If you do not meet their requirements you will have to further your education. They currently require that RNs have their BSN (4 year degree) for licensire as an RN. They may also require that you have your local license before you can apply for one in Ontario. Go to cno.org for more information.
2 :
There are different requirements depending on where you are in. I think if you already have enough experience and skill, and passed all the state exams, you do not have to study anymore to get the job.
