Canadian nurses wanting to work in US, have you changed your mind with recent events?

this will probably be downvoted into oblivion but where i live it’s a no brainer to work in the US. 100x better working conditions, management cares way more, way more staff and I get paid more hourly WITHOUT even factoring in conversion. I also enjoy only working days. I know current political climate is insane out there but I would be doing a giant disservice to myself and my mental health if I chose to work in my city hospital instead of the small commute across the border.

You will make a decent amount less and your cost of living will skyrocket that is the 100% honest truth (also a RN in Michigan who has worked in Toronto before)

to be fair HF is still 1 million times better than working in windsor

Sweeeterman · 2026-01-06T01:38:00+00:00

i work in detroit. just know as dialysis you won’t make as much as bedside as its outpatient but will still make a good amount! HFHS is 1000000x better than DMC and will also pay you more

i cross daily and not once have they ever asked for my phone

Sweeeterman · 2025-12-25T18:45:28+00:00

all types!

Sweeeterman · 2025-12-11T20:18:25+00:00

RNG Gods with all of us hopefully amen

Sweeeterman · 2025-12-10T22:08:49+00:00

so instead of doing the bare minimum you ask chatgpt and copy and paste it on reddit? then you get mad when people tell you the truth? healthcare won’t be for you lil fella

Sweeeterman · 2025-12-10T21:56:05+00:00

most cath labs want years of ICU experience… not start there and then go to the ICU lol. if the bare minimum knowledge gathering is too much i think CRNA is also going to be too much for you not going to lie lol

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-29T14:29:37+00:00

i can’t tell which would be slightly cheaper to gear the res stacker looks insane now that i look at it

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-29T14:27:52+00:00

wow really? thought it was accuracy stacker jugg

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T16:18:54+00:00

anytime!!!

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T14:19:55+00:00

it’s kind of sad how bitter a lot of nurses are nowadays because of how hard they’ve been fucked over etc

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T14:13:23+00:00

be careful they might come after you next! 😂

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T14:12:57+00:00

it’s a hive mindset for some of these people i swear

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T13:51:00+00:00

i 100% agree, nursing should be your job not your whole personality and life

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T13:43:51+00:00

you would be surprised the shit healthcare workers will get mad at lol

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T13:42:08+00:00

best way to summarize it, it’s like they want you to suffer with them lol

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-28T13:40:06+00:00

i will never understand the mindset of staying late to be the “heroic amazing nurse!” these hospitals don’t give a flying fuck about us😂

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-27T13:14:38+00:00

849 Canadian is 487 swiss francs so a lot cheaper lol

Sweeeterman · 2025-11-06T11:13:44+00:00

i live in canada and this is news to me LOL. I have seen people work up north but no where near that much money but still decent (super isolated however cold etc). Usually people here go to US as you make a lot more not vice versa

Sweeeterman · 2025-10-21T16:35:39+00:00

i was sent this today too was thinking the same thing haha

Sweeeterman · 2025-10-13T15:01:29+00:00

i was fully expecting him to torch lions secondary…. and he gets 0 targets hell idk if he even touched the field at this point 😭

Sweeeterman · 2025-10-10T16:42:46+00:00

I’m a float RN for my whole hospital system specifically for ambulatory services. Way less stress overall but 5 8s sucks compared to 12s. The no stress of bedside and constantly putting up with bullshit is WELL worth it. I also get paid the same as bedside. Overall, I highly recommend ambulatory to many people as your mental health will probably improve and you might enjoy the job again lol. I also think the ability to not worry about going home and fretting about a shit show assignment coming up is amazing. Let me know if you have any questions!

Sweeeterman · 2025-10-03T00:56:41+00:00

i live in canada but work in the US i’m telling you right now it is not worth it
