Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, I started travel nursing within Canada and then made the switch to travel nursing to the United States with my specialty in the OR.
Although not an expert, because what exactly is American travel nursing for Canadians anyways?
…One part immigration, one part accounting, two parts actual nursing, another two parts HR... You get the idea.
All of these other areas might explain why it is such a daunting and uncomfortable process for everyone.
In Jan 2023, after undergoing the painful process myself (and getting MA and NY nursing licenses), I created The Ultimate Canuck to Yankee Nursing Guide, a 177-page 'how-to' guide for aspiring Canadian nurses looking to head South to the United States for the better weather and better pay. *Access is restricted for copyright purposes.

March 25th, 2023, I officially launched a Facebook group specifically for U.S. nursing for Canadians called: Canadian Travel Nurses (to the U.S.A.) which is full of: Advice, Q&As, information and resources from a wealth of experienced nurses or others in the same boat, state-specific chats (for licensing help), giveaways, webinars, specialized chat for LPNs, NCLEX takers, and those enduring the CGFNS process, and much more. There will also be nurse success stories and more to come!
Finally, in June 2023, I launched the complimentary website to the Facebook group. Here is the hub for the large guide, smaller articles, INFO Monday topics, the top agency/recruiter list, a little about how the community started, this a little about me section, a contact page, and a support page.
In my spare time, I am an author working on a romance/fantasy series and can usually be found with a cat in my lap, cup of tea in my hands, listening to kpop or watching kdramas, buried under boxes and boxes of home décor items from Amazon.com (because that is the real reason I started U.S. travel nursing… to maintain my Amazon.com shopping addiction). 🙂
