questions about JOBS/AGENCIES IN VANCOUVER, BC


HI THERE,
I am an Aussie trained ICU registered nurse whom is sitting the CRNE feb 2009. Apart from Geneva Health and Health Staff Professionals, does any one know any other nursing agencies that would assist in finding employment in Vancouver, BC.
Also, do most hospitals accept applications from nurses practising as 'Supervised Temporary Registered Nurses' to work whilst they wait to sit their exam and whilst they wait for their exam results? Or are most internationally educated nurses pretty much jobless until after the CRNE? Thank you all.

Welcome.

Not sure why you want an agency when you could contact the hospitals yourself

I'm an RN in Vancouver but currently in the US preparing for the NCLEX. You might want to contact the college of registered nurses in bc
www.crnbc.ca about ability to work.

I agree with the above poster, contact employers directly. I work for the Fraser Health Authority, do a google search, they are always looking for nurses.

hey all thanks for your responses!
I found a useful website that recruits on behalf of all the major B.C health organisations (providence, fraser, provincial and vancouver coastal)

I would send a CV/resume to the HR department and then follow up with a phone call.

nurse vancouver replied to my email. They told me that I first have to be deemed eligible by CRNBC. Once that is so, they will entertain my application. Hope this helps!
