ATTN- Alberta nurses

Saskatchewan may still be hiring but since the recent graduates from neighbouring Alberta have had to leave the province to find work, many of them have gone there. It's the next best thing, they are still close enough to come home for a visit and are able to make a decent living. BC is having economic and ideologic difficulties so they're not wide-open like they were a year or so ago either. This is especially true for the coastal area because of its temperate climate - that's where many IENs choose to go so that they don't have to contend with Prairie winters. Manitoba may still have vacancies, but they'll soon be stocked up with displaced nurses from other provinces. Ontario has a dearth of permanent full time positions and has a high number of struggling new graduates. Quebec has its own issues, notably l'Office de la Langue Francaise and its language laws and maybe even more important, deplorable working conditions and wages. The Maritime provinces have some vacancies but many of the nurses and other skilled workers being displaced HERE came from THERE so they're heading home. It's really a sad state of affairs.

RNDude77, there's perhaps a hint of desperation in your last post. "My situation is such that i need to leave the US soon, say maybe 6-8mths" doesn't give you a lot of time to tie up all the loose ends you'd need to in order to work in Canada. If you haven't already applied to more than just Alberta, I'd say you need to make some decisions and get on that. As I've said before, it's going to require a lot of hard work and money to get this rolling.

Linzz, you're not the only one in that boat!

You do know that RSA is one of the most violent places on the planet to live?

SOME??

You need to hit the interwebz, my friend. My family were burnt out of their farm in Zimbawe.

Carjackings, murders and rapes are daily happenings in RSA. Fancy living with a fortress mentality?
