Mandatory training for starting work in Ontario

Published

Dear All,

I am an experienced locum intensive care UK RN, Planning to go to Ontario for family reasons. I got my CNO reg last month.

Please advice me:

What are the mandatory training, courses or requirements that hospitals in Ontario generally request.

I dont mind relocating to far areas. Is there any chance for me to start looking for a locum (travel nurse/ per diem job), or do I have to look for full time substansive job. One of the things I like about locum is the travel n family commitments.

Thx for the advice

Mohammad

Specializes in NICU.

Usually you have to have minimum of BCLS (health-care provider level) which is usually the only requirement, unless a specialty area that requires an additional certificate/courses. The requirements for the job will be listed in the job posting.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Personally until used to how Canada Nursing differs from U.K. I would concentrate on getting experience first before looking at travel nursing
