Can american nurses work in canada?

If you're an R.N, or a Nurse Practitioner (graduated and licensed in the US), can you emigrate and work in Canada?

if u are planning to go to Vancouver, contact RNABC and ask if u can be licensed by reciprocity,, when i worked there,,i had my license in new jersey but i still have to take their licensure exam, maybe because im a graduate of foreign nursing school, so yeah try asking them.. google registered nurses association of british columbia

yes

Hi,

Yes you can migrate and work in Canada . And in
Australia, there is a shortage of nurses at the moment.

rgds.....................

Yes. u might have to recertify though

The following is a blurb off of MSM news today - online. She just gave birth to 4 identical girls in the USA (Great Falls, MT): ........

" Karen Jepp had her girls in Montana because Foothills Medical Centre NICU in Calgary was over-capacity. It's a recurring problem for the booming city -- this year, at least five women have been sent to Benefis to give birth.

There are 89 neonatal beds in Calgary. The city's Health Region has the budget for more, but would still need additional staff to watch over them. And officials said they've had a difficult time hiring more doctors and nurses. "

.....so there you have it - just 1 example of the demand for nurses in Canada.
