Questions...JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!


Does anyone know what the highest paid RN positions are in Ontario?

Or the most applied-for? (ie: is there an RN position I may not get becuase so many nurses covet that position?)

Or the difference between being an RN in the States or in Canada?

Or the area where they need RNs the most?

Still don't know what I want to specialize in, or where I want to work.

Default Re: Questions...JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!
Here's a shock for you. Most Canadian nurses are unionized. The wages are determined by union contracts. You get to top scale based on number of hours worked.

Seniority is the usual deciding factor in the hiring process. The more seniority you have the better chance of getting the job you want. Hell, it even factors into when you get your vacation.
