I do not mind any nursing job. I just do not want to be unemployed. I hope to get a nursing job because I cannot afford to stay home. Just on the long run it would be nice to get a job in the big system. Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck :)

Thank you for your help. At least now I know the reality so I can be prepared.

Thank you so much for the information very helpful. The care model is quit different from Ontario where hospitals are RN and RPN based and few unregulated staff in the hospital. I am open to any job opportunity as I indicated (I am just not sure about community nursing). I might be alble to do community nursing but I will be new to Alberta and I am not confident driving the proviences weather most of the time as needed by community nursing. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to get in the system. For example, what certificats are they looking for, who do I talk to (HR or managers), how to get hold of the HR or the Manager? I'm a pretty flexible individual that can work in the Hospital or long term care so I am not picky as long as I am working as a nurse :) . I would to eventually get in the Alberta Health Services system - so any advice specific to this system?

So what makes it hard. Too many nurses. Or nurses are picky or few jobs. Are you from alberta tell me your experience. Maybe I'll learn something from it.

Hello there Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post. I am a registered nurse in Ontario. I work on surgical unit. I have 4 years of experience in hospital and long term care. For family reasons I have to move to calgary alberta. I'm looking forward for the change but I have few worries/questions for you guys 1. How long does it take to get the licence? 2. I'm open to any nursing job except community visiting nurse because I did not like the experience in this field, I have been hearing that people are struggling to get rn jobs so any tips? 3. How is the system like and how does it differ from that in Ontario, especially from those who had similar experience? 4. Do you have any additional comments please feel free to provide greatly appreciated?
