Is BC really that bad in terms of RN jobs?

Published

As a BC NS I have seen numerous postings here about BC having no jobs available, or being frozen in terms of hiring.

This scares me a little, but also is confusing. While I was in my practicum placements, the coordinators talked about hiring and working at their hospital as part of ESN or even after grad.

So should I be looking at other provinces for employment, or is BC just hard for out of province RN's?

This seems insane to me that with all the RN shortages out there and the highly reported number of RN's set to retire or about too, that there are no available jobs in this province.

Can someone from BC shed some light, because I am a little nervous now about job oppurtunities in BC. I live in the lower mainland and was hoping to work in the lower mainland for both my ESN and after-grad nursing.

Thank you,

T.

No, it isn't about that. If you are going to make certain claims in a public forum, be prepared for others to question or disagree. Not everything is taken at face value, especially around here on AN.

Fair enough.

Enjoy your day :)
