Want to practice nursing in British Columbia? In this episode of The Interesting MD Podcast, Dr. Rob Beck talks with Sara Telfer, Deputy Registrar at the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM), about how U.S.-trained nurses and NPs can get licensed in BC through a streamlined, modern process.

Sara explains how BCCNM uses NURSYS partnerships with U.S. state boards to reduce paperwork, speed up verification, and remove many of the traditional licensing delays. They also discuss how licensure and immigration work separately (but can be pursued together), when to apply to avoid unnecessary costs, and how to explore jobs through nursingjobsbc.ca.

A clear, hopeful, and practical episode for any U.S. nurse or nurse practitioner thinking about relocating to Canada—and looking for a smoother path to licensure.
