Alberta vs Nova Scotia, RN, MSN(MN) growth trajectory

Hello,

Which province has a better career growth trajectory? AB or NS

I need any input for nurses those who work in either AB or NS with an MN (MSN) or hold a managerial MN (MSN) job relevant type position.

I've lived Edmonton so I know the salary is better than most provinces. I want to know about potential career growth for nurses who have MSN/ MN in either AB or NS.

I have 12 years exp as an RN - emerge -2 mental health -10 and currently taking my masters in nursing leadership focus.

I've been doing travel nursing while studying so I don't have any permanent address at the moment and have been saving for a house when I do decide to settle when I'm done.

if it's relevant, home base this time is Montreal but I don't speak French so I can't work and don't plan to stay there when I'm done.

I also factored cost of living, quality of life and in future getting a relationship. Both are comparable leaning towards AB just because of better pay but that can be easily overlooked when I hold an MN relevant position with better pay.

I just don't have data about careers trajectories when having an MN.

Are you able to help me out?
