Nursing in northern communities

[betaq]

I am looking for a nursing position in a northern community--i would like an experience which provides a certain degree of training/orientation

I am open to any advice/interested in hearing others experience

I work in intensive care at the moment but would like to pursue a career in community health nursing

Thanks

Yeah i actually worked with your classmate for a little bit...

I hope you have fun in Moosonee...we were only there for 1 day on our way up the coast.. it seemed nice.. would of been nice to spend a few more days there...

Diabetes, HTN, skin disorders, and Mental Health are all the main issues up here...

its totally different kind of nursing... but the staff up here rock... and its an amazing experience... definately not for everyone but i am glad i made the decision to come here... (some days i feel otherwise... but then somedays i question nursing lol)

Kool!! One of my friends who works in Moosonee told me she will be coming over your area May or June for work, I know she knows quite a few nurses there already, her name is Sacha, just in case you get to meet her. It seems like people who work there really like it which is encouraging. I havent applied yet or anything but I am hoping all goes well when I decide to, thanks so much for the information
