Are you allowed to work in two different health authorities?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I'm a new grad RN who fortunately acquired a full time position when I finished my program (at the ward where I did my preceptorship term) because the hospital happened to be expanding at that time and needed more staffs. I work in a general medical/surgical ward under Fraser Health at the moment.

I'm interested in gaining experience in a more specialized nursing area in a different health authority... does anyone know if it's currently allowed to hold a full time position at one health authority and also get a casual position at a different health authority? If I recall correctly, Fraser Health currently does not allow RNs who have a full time position to apply for casual position elsewhere, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I just wanted to find out before I submit my resume to a different hospital. Thanks! =D

PS. Let's say I do find a new job position at where my passion is, how early in advance do I have to notify my current job's manager?

    I see a major flaw in your plan. If you hold a full time line in authority A, how are you going to manage to do an depth orientation on a specialty unit? The speciality units at my hospital do their orientations full time and then expect you to pick up x number of shifts when they need you to keep current and develop your skills.

    Also look at your union contract. Authority B isn't going to pay you OT to pick up casual shifts, they would give them to their own staff first.

    I'm okay with not being paid OT for the opportunity to work in authority B. I'm also thinking of dropping my full time line and switch to casual in authority A should authority B hires me. Would that be allowed?
