district nursing/community in ontario

Published

hi there, hope one of my colleagues can assist me. Hope to get the green light to immigrate to Canada soon. Iam RN trained in the UK, my first love is district/community/outreach, not sure of the terminology here!

Simple question (I wish!) after getting my registration thru with the CNO is there a courses I can do to help with pursuing this careerpath....by the way I prefer the practical aspect if theres a choice

Much thanks.. carol

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.

Those areas of practice are quite popular here and require a minimum of a baccalaureate degree. Employment is often through the Victorian Order of Nurses, while each province also has some form of home care programme. Do you have generalist education, or specialist?

In Ontario there has been a shortage of enterstomal therapists in homecare, see job listing on St Elizabeth website below as an example. Also, a large number of homecare patients require dressings, so if you are interested in certification, taking the enterstomal therapy nurse education program through CAET may increase your job opportunities. http://www.caet.ca/education_overview.htm
