Newbie, Uk NICU planning move to Canada

by roxycat

Hi everyone

I am right at the start of the process of planning to move to Canada. I have had a telephone interview with recruiters for BC province health authority who are looking to place experienced neonatal nurses within the health authorites of BC. I think I like the sound of Fraser health and Interior health but would like to know any information regarding Neonatal units in BC.
I have nine years neonatal experience, currently a sister on a small 10 cot neonatal unit, which provides intensive care (2 cots). I am more of a country girl than a city girl, so I would prefer a smaller hospital.
Also working under my UKCC licence until I pass my CRNBC, would I be paid as a new graduate or would they have to recognise my registration and experince in the UK and pay me accordingly.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sarah.

Hi Sarah
As far as I know you will be paid as a new grad until you have written and passed the crnbc. After that they will pay you at your level of experience ie, step 9 for the nine years experience. Im not sure if you will be paid the diffference of new grad salary and RN when you have passed the exam - maybe someone on here could answer that for you. At least thats the information I got when I was researching and at the interview I have been to in AB. I am sure that If I am wrong in this info, someone will correct me and I am sure what i left out, someone will add on because there are a lot of people on this site with valuable information on this site.

How did the interview go if you have had it already? Have a good day.
