For the past year I've been looking into a health care aide program where I live in Edmonton, but I'm still not sure if I should get spend my money on getting a health care aide certificate before applying to nursing school within 1-2 years.
I was told you can work as an aide after the first year of nursing school but is there a limit as to where you can work? For example, after completing the first year of nursing school would it be relatively easy for me to get a job as an aide for Caritas or Capital Health, or do employers prefer hiring applicants with Health Care Aide certificates? How about LTC facilities not under Caritas or Capital Health?
