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.

a RN degree is an associates degree. call a community college in your area and set up an appointment to see a admissions counselor. if you wanted a four year degree (bachelor) then you get your BSN degree at a university and it helps to start your associates in science at a community and switch to university after you have enough credintials to start the program. the RN program at the community college is only an associates and takes two years. you need to get the prereqs done tho. if you just graduated you might just be eligible to enroll in the nursing program. your best bet is to call an admissions counselor at a school of your choice and set an appt up and she/he will help you with everyhing you need to know!

Where to live in the USA
Where to live in the USA?
I have always lived in los angeles (and the surrounding area), I was born here, raised here, and stayed here for college....trouble is I absolutely cannot STAND hot weather!!! I have wanted to get away from this weather for a LONG time but there has always been one reason or another to stay in there area. But now, in May I'm graduating with a nursing degree to be an RN, and I'm not going to be tied down to anyone or anything. So I can finally move somewhere different! Being an RN I will likely be able to find work anywhere. I'm looking for a place that is not hot at all! I want a place where like the maximum temperature is 70....I want people to be griping about a heat wave at 70*. Where in the United States fits that bill? I welcome all suggestions :-) thanks! I'm not worried about staying in the continential US....Alaska is a possibility. I'm ready for a change and an adventure! What are good places to live in Alaska...it's so huge and I know almost nothing about it.

Colorado by Colorado Springs but don't live in Colorado Springs its self because its very dangerous. But it doesn't usually get to hot, maybe like 75 degrees max maybe hotter on like a really hot day in the summer.
2 :
Try Minnesota. It is a lovely state with mild summers, for the most part. Another possibility is Washington or Oregon.
3 :
I agree with the answer that said the NW. I assume you want to stay in the continental US or I'd say try Alaska. It would be one heckuva change from LA but you might love it.
4 :
Anchorage
5 :
Alaska is in the 80s in the summer like most places, if you want colder weather ALL year you have to find a higher altitude, rather than latitude. Colorado is the highest elevation of all the states by far, Leadville CO's record high temperature ever was 84F, usually it's around 70 in the summer, and teens in the winter. It snows in Colorado from October til the middle of May, and you can ski all year long (in the backcountry, not at ski areas). The mountains get around 300inches or more, depends where you go. Also if you're from SoCal your definition of summer is different from people in cold places.... summer is only June, July and August. Sometimes it snows in June in the Rockies, and it's usually in the 60s again by September. Occasionally snows in Sept as well (it's supposed to this year) So while Alaska gets colder in the winter, it also gets hotter in the summer than the Colorado Rockies. But again, short summer in both places.

It's always good to start out by sending her CV to a dozen of various diff hospitals in uk. After you get accepted , then you can take care of the visa and then fly there.
