2. A Reasonable Orientation??

   Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International

   I did ask but they have quite a few new starts and feel they can't accommodate me unless I come in on my days off for additional orientation and even then not for too many (ie one or two). Other than that I am expected to be on as charge on the night...

10. UK Nurse - Calgary - Maybe!

    Jaggy Thistle replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International

    Many thanks Silver Dragon. I've checked the sticky and at least I may have options. Just have to wait and see what CARNA throw back, if anything. You never know I may have done enough after all this worrying. Cheers
