The biggest difference between Canada and the UK? TREES! Having lived in both the UK and Canada (where I live now) I can say that while there are a lot of similarities there are also a number of differences. First off, it's cheaper to live in Canada for the most part. Places like Vancouver can be very pricey, but most of Canada is pretty affordable. Houses are roughly half the cost of those in the UK. Petrol is half the price you're paying in the UK. A downside to Canada is that it can be too darn big. If you don't live in major city like Toronto or Montreal and you like to see big name concerts you're going to have to drive for hours, or fly, just to get to the venue. It's generally much colder in Canada in the winter, but our summers tend to be a bit hotter than in the UK. You have midges, we have mosquitoes and horse flies. You kinda get used to them after a while :) The cultures can be pretty different in several ways, but nothing that would shock you too much. We love beer, but so do the Brits :) We bbq a LOT, you not so much. I love both countries and I think it would be a great experience for you to work here, at least for a while.

How is nursing in the United Kingdom compared to Canada
How is nursing in the United Kingdom compared to Canada?
I'm a recent grad from nursing and was hoping to travel and nurse. I'd love to travel around Europe and thought a fun place to use as my home base would be London. Over the past few weeks though I've heard some bad things about nursing in the UK. Things such as poor wages, poor working conditions and lack of responsibilities/allowance to perform many of the nursing skills I do here in Canada. Help me please with any of your opinions. I'd like to find out as much as I could before I head over or if I should even head over. Thanks!!

The UK has a shortage of nursing staff.
2 :
Excellent! try Paddington Hospital or Royal Norther Hospital on Holloway Road, both in London. Nurses in England are trained in hospitals
3 :
Under paid and under appreciated. London is horribly expensive and unless you want to spend all your time in London you'd be better off somewhere where you'll have low enough costs to still have a life.
4 :
If you want to travel and are a registered nurse then New Zealand are desperate for qualified medical staff...seriously! Here is just one site advertising...there are plenty more! http://www.adhb.govt.nz/AucklandHealthCareers/ http://newzealandnow.info/ Good luck where ever you end up!

You can't. You need a degree, minimum 4 years. Look up to governments NAFTA trade agreement with the states. Only particular professions deemed in demand (nurses with a BSN are on the list, as are physicians) qualify. Unfortunately, Nurse aides do not.

Go to the website : Google Ontario Nurses Association website it should give you more information as how to do it.
2 :
You need to contact the college of nurses for the province you wish to live in and they will have the neccessary forms for applying for licensure. You will have to have your education and experience evaluated and pass the CRNE which is the national licensing exam. Many provinces in Canada are requiring a BSN for licensure. Check out allnurses.com for more information. You also will have to apply to immigration for the proper visa as well.
