nursing in canada
Hi I am a mental health nurse with 5 years post qual. experience. I did project 2000 so the 1st 18 months of my training included maternity (1 month) , paeds (1 month), adult(1 month) and elderly (1 month). The 2nd 18 months was all psych. I currently have a diploma not a degree but I am looking into doing my degree shortly. Does anyone know if I would be eligible to work in Canada? Any help greatly appreciated.

As I understand it you will be eligible in some provinces with a diploma, but not all. For instance you will need a degree in Ontario from the end of 2004. I assume all the provinces will eventually only allow entry to graduates. So it would be advisable to get the degree.
