I just wanted to know in May I will graduate from an Ontario Nursing school, I already know I would like to work in Alberta.
Do I have to write my license exam in Ontario and then transfer it over to Alberta or can I from the get go write my license exam in Alberta?
I have seen answers on here pertaining to if someone gets their license in Ontario how to transfer it over to Alberta, however my question is I graduate from nursing school in Ontario and I want to work in Alberta can I go to Alberta and write the license exam there or do I have to originally write in in Ontario and then transfer it?
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
no I don't have a green card or NAFTA, I don't know what those even are.
Greencard is immigrant visa, NAFTA is agreement between Canadian , Mexican and US government allowing citizens to live and work in each others country. as a practical nurse neither can be used to work in the US. For immigrant or work visa for the US a minimum of RN is required unless you are accompanying spouse who has a visa that allows you to get one
I am a nursing student in Ontario just about to graduate in may as well. I was hoping to go somewhere out west (BC/AB) but is the job market really so bad? Would you recommend doing the New Grad Initiative here in ON first?
I know that some people will think we are discouraging them, but we're just being honest. The job market is as bad as we're telling you. The only way you're getting into AHS with ease is if you don't mind very rural locations. The cities are really not hiring anyone full time. BC is just as bad.
