WOW! I am so happy to see that you can actually read and comprehend . I guess those two blocks
to the head didn't mess you up to awfully bad even though your still drooling a little. You can actually still recite a simple sentance on your own.

One thing for sure, the pay is better your way. We do have shortages of personnel here so I wonder what other reasons they might have to leave Canada.     Ooh wait, they can pack heat!! ;D ;D
 
BTW. A fair number of MD's up here are from other countries and their English is not always top notch.

They work in some partnership with the facility's I do. The nurses are here to help us with the case
load over at the hospice building. It's getting hard to find qualified people now days that can pass the
back ground check. They have the option to stay but that will be up to them , one of them is single
and she is thinking about it. The Doc isn't here yet but he will be helping me here and up in the
Santa Fe facility because its to much area for me to cover by myself .

Yes Duke they did bring their caps or skullys as one of them calls it. I had to ask one of them what
a tuque was lol ? And if she brought one , she had just came to work and told me its what I'm
wearing on my head Anna ! Duhhh . She also speaks fluent French so its a great chance for me to
brush up in that . But BBF it is a different French from what I know and the pronunciation is totally
different. Add to that her accent and we keep correcting each other. I ran into that down in
Louisiana with the Cajuns, their French is creole and is so different we barely could understand
each other.

But to be honest between the Cajuns and the Canadians it is my French that is out of place and not
theirs. Mines more Southern Belgian or walloon sounding is what they say with a hint of Dutch.
But in France I can clean it up a little and do just fine there . But it's Switzerland in the western
cantons that was a real challenge where the accent is very direct. It's hard to believe that a single
language could have all these variations but it does apparently. I wonder if its that way with English
when you get around someone from say Australia ? 
 
P.S. And they do say " Eh" a lot lol .  ;D

I don't speak French short of a couple of cusswords ;D  Folks that I know that speak France type French also tell me the Quebecois have an accent,partially because it is a stagnant  lingo in that region.

 Re English. There are a lot of liberties taken with the Queens version. ;)

RNs are on a national pay scale in Canada. They make way less than US RNs for the first ten years or so, so a lot of them come here. After ten years, they are high enough in experience (experience they get in the US counts) that they can go back and make nearly what they'd make here.

What makes you think it would be me ? Besides I think they handle that in a different way and it's mostly over the women comments anyhow so you might be surprised .
Anyway the nurses are making a lot more here than they did in Canada . We had some years back
that were from the Phillipines but they just were not qualified enough. I don't know what the regs
in that country but evidently they were not up to standards here.

you need to visit there more . Most are very nice to a fault but in the french speaking areas I have seen a different attitude from  more than a few. Up around Selkirk you will find the people are great and will help you with hunting and finding birds.
