Yes, They're called Hospice nurses. I believe Canada allows IV's at home. The U.S does not where morphine is concerned. I can understand why because of the sterility problem of doing IV at home. Unless it's changed. It should be allowed because the entire purpose of Hospice is dying in peace at home. I think it should be allowed. To get the right answer, you'd have to contact Hospice nursing in Canada. They would know for sure. Good luck

Depending on where in Canada you would like to get a job as a nurse because each province has a College of Nurses. You would have to contact them and find out all the requirements to become licensed in that province. In Ontario you can contact the College of Nurses on their web site as follows- www.cno.org. I know this because I am a nurse in Ontario. I noticed at the end of your question you stated "job in USA". I know each that they have a similar system to ours in regards to licensing. You'd have to contact that states specific "college" as well. I hope this can help you somewhat to get you started towards your goal. Good luck!!!

What is the starting salary for a nurse in Canada and/or the united states?
I'm just curious how much a nurse gets paid when they start working. Does it matter what kind of nurse a person is? Thanks!

There are all kinds of nurses, including two-year AD nurses, three-year diploma nurses, four-year baccalaureate nurses, nurses with graduate degrees, special certifications, mid-wives, anesthecists and nurse practitioners. So there's that. You then have to consider where the nurse is working: a community health clinic, a major hospital in a metro area, a doctor's office or has she hung out her own shingle? The field of study, expertise and geographic location all impact salary as well. Canada has a system of socialized medicine, so medical personnel are paid less than they are in the U.S. Check out this link to at least get a rough idea of some of salaries: http://www.studentdoc.com/nursing-jobs-salaries.html

What are the steps to becoming a Registered Nurse in Canada

What are the steps to becoming a Registered Nurse in Canada?
I am thinking about going back to school to beome a registered nurse, but I can't find the courses I need to take or the steps I need to take to become one. Is there anyone who is one that knows which universities offer the course and which classes are needed/ steps I need to take? Thanks in advance!

not agree with that

To become a registered nurse you must enroll in a nursing program, offered at dozens of universities across Canada. Nursing programs have subjects that are prerequisites and the program itself is 4
years long. You didn't mention what province you are in so I can't list the schools in your area.
