It will show you tried to remain up to date. I don't know the job market or requirement in Canada, but I can wish you luck in your job search.

Specializes in Acute Care, Rehab, Palliative.

It won't hurt but it won't take the place of experience.

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Your bigger issue will be not working as a nurse in 4 years. Continuing education is not a replacement for paid clinical practice/experience especially in a competitive market
