TL:DR
Okay, so B.C. is straight-up recruiting nurses from the U.S. 'cause they say Trump being out of office is their chance to shine. They sped up the whole nurse registration thing, and a bunch of peeps already applied. They're hitting up states like Washington and Cali. Seems like American healthcare workers are fed up and wanna vibe in Canada. Canada is unbothered!

Okay, listen up, fam! B.C. is on one rn. They're going after U.S. nurses, and they're not even trying to be lowkey about it. Apparently, the Premier of British Columbia hinted that the chaos that came with Trump is lowkey a W for them 'cause it means they can snatch up some amazing healthcare workers. Like, they're playing chess, not checkers!
And get this: they revamped their whole registration system for nurses, so it takes, like, days instead of months. No cap, since they announced this back in March, 177 nurses from the U.S. already slid into their DMs with applications, and 113 are officially in, ready to serve looks and save lives. Slay!
They're not gatekeeping either. American nurses can just apply straight to the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives without needing to go through a whole bunch of extra steps. Total game changer.
In June, B.C. is gonna launch a full-on recruitment campaign hitting up places like Washington, Oregon, and California. Basically, anywhere with a bunch of nurses who might be down to ditch the U.S. and vibe in Canada.
But wait, there's more! It's not just nurses, 573 physicians, 133 nurse practitioners, and 39 allied health professionals are showing interest in moving to B.C. since this whole thing started. Talk about a glow-up for Canadian healthcare!
Why the sudden urge to cross the border? Apparently, American doctors are over private insurers and political drama. B.C. is playing up the whole "better lifestyle" card, and honestly, who can blame them?
One U.S. nurse said she's already obsessed with the province and is currently seeking licensure. Another U.S. nurse said her interest in B.C. was due to the frustration of the politics back in the U.S., and that "The American Dream is no longer"
