Does anyone know what a RN nurse does?

Anyone know of a travelling nurse agency that goes overseas?

  • Hi, I am a Canadian high school student and I figured since I'm graduating soon I should start thinking about a career. I have always wanted to be a nurse and someone recently recommended being a travelling nurse to me. I loved the idea but when I went looking for an agency all I found was ones that had you travel to the U.S. and across Canada. While I love both places, I was really hoping to go overseas. Soon I'm to university to get my BSN then I plan on becoming a RN. I'm OK with working hard to meet any requirements so if you have ANY agencies that send nurses abroad I would love to know of them! Thanks!

  • Answer:

    You are pretty limited when it comes to travel nursing.To even go to the US you need a license for the state you want to work in and a work visa.To go overseas you would need the same and that is virtually impossible to get coming from a non EU country. As the first poster said you need nursing experience before you can be a travel nurse.

The US and Canada are the only places that have traveling nurses, and you have to have some nursing experience before you can do traveling nursing. However, it's a great way to save money (they pay moving expenses, furnish apartment & food allowance in addition to salary) and see different parts of the country. My daughter did it for a couple years.
