:) Hi Gangan. Apparently, all the jobs are in the USA. I have met many nurses from Canada who move to the USA because they need a job. Good luck!

Lots of jobs in Canada, depends on where you are looking and your experience. Several good job sites including medhunters.com

Where did you train? Are you willing to take casual shifts? Casual gets your foot in the door and your face known around the facility.

Me and my husband recently got FT perm positions in the ICU in SK. I am told that of course there is a nursing shortage, and that ICU's are hardest hit, which seems normal.

I have worked in both Canada and the USA, and I definitely prefer Canada. Although I am definitely not thrilled with the GP's here!
