  1. Danish nurse (studying) seeking clinic work in Canada - HELP!

    linzz replied to jeanettedk's topic in International Nursing

    I think in Ontario preceptors get a whole $1.00 more per hour when precepting. No wonder they don't want to do it. I hate to say this, but right now in Ontario, nurses are fighting to keep their...

  2. College of Nurses of Ontario

    linzz replied to Norstar's topic in International Nursing

    I agree, there is no nursing shortage in Ontario for RN's or RPN's. I could see one coming maybe in 10 years or so, when the retirements start rolling in, but even then many come back casual. Who...

  8. info on working in the USA from Cdn RNs

    linzz replied to nurse4hearts's topic in International Nursing

    A friend of mine worked for a few years in the U.S. and she ended up very burnt out. She found the mandatory overtime, huge workloads and the racism too much. I am not saying everyone is racist but...

  9. Ontario Nurse (to be hopefully)

    linzz replied to SheGotAway's topic in International Nursing

    linzz replied to StittsvilleNurse's topic in International Nursing

  14. A problem a newly and worried graduate is facing

    linzz replied to mutoc's topic in International Nursing

    Are you sure that the places that you applied to are actually still offering employment through HFO, some hospitals are cutting jobs right now and some are not. I would consider giving them a call and...

  15. JOB prospects for RNs in Toronto

    linzz replied to jessicanursing101's topic in International Nursing

    I am really hoping that duckman will loosen things up soon. All this cost cutting, it is going on here too, has to come to the point where the public will become very angry. My spouse has waited seven...

  16. past/current YorkU Nursing students - opinions about the program

    linzz replied to FN89's topic in International Nursing

    I didn't realize that York offered a second entry program. I was thinking more of the traditional four year program. I wish I had I second entry program near me as I have a previous degree and it...

    linzz replied to nandrani's topic in International Nursing

    linzz replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Nursing
