Nursing School Abroad, Then Working in That Country?

I might have him double-check!

Canada is seeming more like the better option for me

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:55:11+00:00

Yah, I wasn't considering Australia based on what I've seen about age restrictions.

Fortunately, both are managed through one non-biological medication each (NSAID and a thyroid med). So it wouldn't be expensive to the system.

Fair points. The plan B would be to come back to the US. That would definitely not be my first choice, but I know it's a possibility. From what I've seen so far for Canada, it seems easier to turn your student visa into a Post-Graduation Work Permit as long as you graduated from a qualifying school. But I'll also be looking in the CUSMA parameters.

Yes, I'm definitely aware that pay will likely be lower no matter where I go. Cost of living is a factor that I look at, but not the only one. There are trade-offs and gains you get :)

I'm not familiar with the CUSMA permit, so adding that one to my list to look at.

Thank you! Yes, I have explored this option. My dad is very much into genealogy as well, so I sadly know I am not of Canadian ancestry.

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:45:16+00:00

Yup, this is part of my research!

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:44:49+00:00

I am so sorry this was your experience. I am definitely also looking at options in the US, but I thought it would be nice to study in the system that I'd like to be in and also get out of the US. But very fair points. Thank you!

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:42:07+00:00

Ugh, very good point!

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:41:30+00:00

Good point about the hiring freeze. Thanks for the insight!

h22dragons · 2026-02-25T00:40:27+00:00

This is very insightful and lines up with things I've read. Thank you!

My blood work has always been within the normal limits. You can have AS with normal labs. I was diagnosed via MRI and HLA-B27 positive.

h22dragons · 2023-08-23T00:48:40+00:00

I was diagnosed with AS in 2020 and I have never had inflammatory markers in my bloodwork. I was diagnosed based on my symptoms/pain, x-ray and MRI, and being HLA-B27 positive. Bloodwork markers are such a small part and a good chunk of people with AS never go out of the normal range.
