Good bye Canada
 

Well me and my gf have been thinking about it lately, and we might move to the west coast. We are sick of the winter and we would just like a change. She has started school for nursing. But she isn't a registered nurse. Anyone on here have a wife or mom or knwo someone that is a nurse in the states? She wants to knwo what they make and we heard that some place will even pay for you to move there and pay for your school?! Can you guys help me out with some answers. Also does anyone knwo what it takes for a couple of white people to become US citizens. Can't be that hard cause i've been to california before :P thanks guys

Move to Minnesota. 60k+ a year starting and they'll pay for your schooling :6

Re: Good bye Canada
 

The only nurses on the west coast are fat greasy latinas that have 80 kids at home and get paid $6.75 an hour. Don't expect the supply of fat greasy latinas to dwindle anytime soon. Move to the mid-west where they still have American nurses. :y

Citizenship? WTF is that? Just sneak in like everyone else and wait for our politicians to hand life to you. ;)

WEll its either there or Alberta :P
chances are it will be Alberta, but i'm getting sick of winter and i like the idea of paying a hard working mexican $5 to wash my truck

Re: Good bye Canada
 

Alberta owns.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

now you're thinking cause the west coast socal is where its at.

now to answer your question. friend of mine went to a COMMUNITY COLLEGE and finished their nursing program, starting pay was 25and hour when she got out. that was like 2 years ago, don't know what she is making now.

to make things more interesting, bclose friend's mom makes 550..... a DAY! i've seen her pay check stubs. makes me wanna be a nurse.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

25/hr but how many hours is she working. If you could find us some phone number so we can contact some peeps that would be great murdizzle

Re: Good bye Canada
 

well I'm not sure hoe many hours she is working now. I haven't spoken to her in a while. As for phone numbers, what kinda peoples you trying to get in contact with? like schools?

Re: Good bye Canada
 

My mother is an RN labor and delivery, she has delivered thousands of babies in her 25 year or so career.

I think she made about $95k-$100k last year.......This is in Florida.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

There's a huge nurse shortage in the US and alot of places by me have like bonuses for like sign-on and schooling. To bad you'd be stuck in the same situation your in now with winters since I'm just in WI.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

My sister is an RN and she is fresh out of school. She just got a job and being paid $65k.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

I forgot about bonuses. I think my mom got $5,000, but they are offering now $10,000 sign up bonus

Re: Good bye Canada
 

My fiance for another 12day is in school for nursing Chris. The nice thing now is that the Ontario Gavernment is quarentying Graduated nurses a full time job unlike the regular 2-3 part times.

But she also has teachers and girl a year ahead of her getting offered $20,000 Signing bonuses and GREAT Benefits to work across the border. But you have to be registered. Sarah, (my fiance) has already got small offers as she has work in nursing homes that need full-time RNs but she also is getting into Infant Critical Car, so that's the other end of the Spectrum!!!!

Re: Good bye Canada
 

My sister is a "nurses assistant" as of now and making pretty good buck. She's going to become a RN sometime soon and be racking in the dough like there's no tomorrow 8)

Re: Good bye Canada
 

i dont get it. If RN's are paid so much why do movies always show them as struggling single moms? :-\

stupid hollywood.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

Spoonie, you know we wont miss you one bit. :P

This post is useless without pics of your girlfriend stripping out of a nurses outfit.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

Do a search, those pics are here somewhere Martin.

Yeah Josh, she is a PSW aka professional ---- Wiper in a nursing home, she makes alright money, but it's "part-time"
sometimes there is alot of of callins, but you can't depend on that. But yeah, I will miss canada, but i would liek to expirience somehting different for a couple years.

Murdizzle>> If you have time, woudl you mind finding some school numbers? thanks!!!!

Re: Good bye Canada

the sucky thing is, shes always on call.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

If you don't like winter then Alberta isn't the place for you. But hey, if you move to Calgary, come say hi. ;D

Re: Good bye Canada
 

My mom is a RN here in BC.She just got a raise and makes $35 or 36 and hour and works 4 12's then 4 off but that is her choice of shifts as they call her everyday trying to get her to cover shifts.They also got a $3500 bonus for renewing there contract.

Re: Good bye Canada
 

I was born in Calgary :)
but i dont' remeber it :(
i've been there a few times since though. The scenery would make up for the winter.


If any of you Cali guys got any info , hook me up

Re: Good bye Canada

Re: Good bye Canada

Re: Good bye Canada
 

Unless you have dual citizenship, no matter what you will remain a canadian citizen, as long as its not an emergency, you have all rights to cross the boarder back in to canada and see your family doctor or you dentist.

Re: Good bye Canada
