Are there any problems with the crossover from the US to Canada with Nursing?
I'm from Alberta, but want to go to BYU (in Utah) for Nursing School. Will there be a problem getting a job back here in Canada afterwards?

I'm from BC, and my husband is American/lives in the states so I can help. Not sure if you realized this or not, but going to nursing school in the states is super expensive as a Canadian, unless you're dual citizenship. I looked into it before starting school here. Now to answer your question, if the program you're looking into is a BSN, then no there won't be. You will have to write the CRNE though, just like Canadians have to write the NCLEX. And you'll have to get your Alberta license. So it'll be pricey, but a fairly smooth transition. Just keep in mind when you graduate, you'll be in competition with grads in the area in which you want to work. For example, say you're from Calgary. When you come back as an RN, you'll be competing with all the other RN grads from Calgary who have the advantage as they did preceptorships at local hospitals, have networked/made connections and have a "foot in the door". FYI, if the programs you're looking at is anything less then a 4 year degree, you will have problems. Only 4 year BSN nurses are recognized under the NAFTA agreement. LPN's, associates, etc don't cross over.

If you are living in Canada it would be cheaper and a lot less hassle to go to school in Canada. If you went to school in the US you would have to definitely get your BSN and write the NCLEX first and then write the CRNE and go through the licensing process in Canada (which means even more money). And as a previous poster pointed out, you would pay international tuition fees in the US, so about double.

Not sure about working in Canada as an RN but you can check with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing or www.ncsbn.com From there you can contact them and inquire they probably can give you more info on the procedures you have to go about in doing so. Hope this helps some!
