Worth it to go to Canada in order to graduate 4 months faster?Rating: (votes: 0) Ideally, I would like to graduate ASAP because I want to be streamlined into the BSN program. However, it is really that beneficial to graduate faster? If I graduate nursing school in Canada, I will work in the US. However, if I go to school in Canada, then it will be that much more difficult to get into an American ICU position right out of nursing school? Wouldn't the four months I save by going to an Canadian school be offset/negated by my having to spend time obtaining an American RN license anyways? I know how difficult it is to get into an ICU , let alone get into an ICU from a Canadian program!! With the American school, there's a much better chance of getting into an ICU directly out of nursing school as they do externships with critical care units. I don't know the answers to your questions. I can only ask, when you look at the big picture, is 4 months out of your life really that big of a deal to stress over this much? Comment:
I was just curious what city in Canada offers a 2 year Bsn?? I am Canadian but reside in the US. Many of my friends are RN's in Toronto. All the programs there are 4 years. To answer your question. I don't think 4 months is worth all the hassle if you already reside here in the US.Serena

Four months is not that long and not a guarantee you will even get a job within four months after graduating.

is cost not a factor? anyways, i'd stick with a usa school if that's where you want to work.

Quote from rhymeswithlibrarian. The Canadian licensing exam is a lot less scientific and more touchy-feely-bullcrappy.

Quote from AirforceRNI'll take the touchy-feely comment...even the less scientific comment...but "bullcrappy?" Really? Sheesh.

Maybe the OP had better stay in the US if that is what she thinks of Canada and our nursing exam.

Would you be able to sit the NCLEX in your preferred US state with a degree from a Canadian program? Doesn't the state board of nursing have to receive documentation of your education from your school? I would think a Canadian school would not be familiar with US state board procedures.

Quote from Flying ICU RNMisinterpretations on both of our parts, the OP did not post the offending comment, and I assumed (apparently incorrectly) the comment was of U.S. origin.
