Thanks for the reply. From what I can see from online job ads even many casual positions ask for 1-2 years of relevant experience or certain post-basic certifications. How would I get hired in the first place as a casual without these?

Thanks. Do casuals get roughly as many hours as FT employees? It doesn't sound like it. Are there ways to transition directly into full-time work?

Thanks for the reply. Then, will promotion between the levels be based on things like experience, drive and leadership abilities?

I'm considering becoming a nurse in British Columbia, Canada. In the U.S. there are 4 levels of RNs, levels 3-6. Each has a different salary, what are these considering there already are salary differences based on experience (first to ninth year)? Thanks for any clarification.
