Moving from Australia to Canada at the age of 53, to live and work as an internationally educated nurse (IEN) in the remote, regional location of Terrace, BC, has been one of the most enriching and positive experiences of my life. There really is something special about regional, remote nursing. It's the location as well as the professional experience. I highly recommend nursing in another country, particularly Canada!
