Aussie nurse relocating to vancouver

We don't have private hospitals. St. Paul's is right in downtown Vancouver. My nephew was born there. My best friend has worked there for 20 odd years and loves it.

Not driving, you want to live in the West End, can be expensive.

Check out BC Children's Hospital (BCCH) too (career page at: http://www.bcchildrens.ca/Careers/default.htm) Its a nice hospital with (obviously) more babies than you could shake a stick at (its attached to the woman's hospital too). The area surrounding the hospital is nice and has lots to offer with respect to housing. If you are planning on buying, be prepared for outragous prices. Rent is expensive but one can do it. Its not downtown but you can easily walk, bike or bus it downthere. I've never worked in their nursery so can't comment there.
