This our guide to becoming a Canadian travel nurse in the United States.
We would have benefited from having a resource when we started this process. Travel nursing agencies based in the US could only help us so much in navigating this complicated process. It required us to figure out many things independently and, in turn, make plenty of mistakes along the way. Numerous friends and colleagues have approached us and asked, “What do I do to get started?”. We wanted to get to create a place to get down all the information needed to help someone get started from scratch, and hopefully guide and answer any questions you may have on this crazy ride!
All the information comes from personal experience and traveller friends who shared their process with us. We have helped countless friends and colleagues get their travel nursing journey started.
We hope you find this guide helpful!
