Hello, I am looking for some advice regarding the competitiveness of PHC NP admissions in Ontario. I have both ICU and ER experience and have worked also in ER in remote northern Canada. I have some quality improvement and leadership experiences. My professional references are strong but I lack academic references; I have great grades from nursing school but did not interact much with my professors. How competitive am I for admission to an NP Program in Ontario? Does anyone have any recommendations on experiences to strengthen my application? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am an RN in Ontario with previous float experience (primarily ER and ICU), and I am now working full time in the ICU. I am looking into outpost nursing in northern Ontario and Canada. Apart from the Health Canada website, I am having a hard time finding good resources or information on northern nursing. Is there anyone with current outpost experience who could answer some questions for me? I am wondering: Are you employed with Health Canada or another agency? How does working for each differ? How long are your contracts typically? How much time do you have to commit to in a year? How much flexibility do you have in selecting your contracts? How much experience did you have before nursing in the north? Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated!
