A lot will depend on where abouts in NS you want to live, what experience you have and what you are looking for job wise. I am seeing less and less jobs advertised although still some are advertised. careerbeacon.com would be a good place to start

I am not working at the moment and I know where I live in NS there are no jobs currently advertised for nurses and I am currently looking and moving really isn't an option for me. If you have ITU experience then really I think Halifax is the place to be looking in NS (not sure about Truro) Canada is a big place so you need to decide where you want to live. It does take time for people to get back to you but also you may find it easier leaving it a few weeks and then ringing them up to check they received your resume. Networking does appear to be the in thing so if you can get out here for a visit may also be worth doing and arranging informal chat in places

The weather does vary and winter 2009 was a lot different and not as cold as 2008. I would say it is a different cold to the UK and many times I was out walking my dogs in -15 where in the UK you wouldn't get me out in -5

You may want to consider coming over, sitting CRNE and looking for work. CRNE is held in Halifax so you could combine it with a reccie

Hi there,

I am an IEN too and in fact currently licensed in Nova Scotia.All the acute care facilities never contacted me back apart from the acknowledgement I received on submission of job applications.I got replies from Nursing agencies offering me full time jobs but once I told them I require an LMO for them to file in my behalf,they never respond back.I got one LTC facility who finally said will take me fulltime Nights and willing to apply for my LMO but up to this time since April when I had the interview and they accepted me,that elusive LMO has not been filed yet.Lots of rreasons they are giving me,not enough advertisement,etc etc...Really frustrating ...
