   CanNurse06 replied to CanNurse06's topic in International

   Shadian, Thank you - you made some really good points. Unfortunately, all my transcripts were sent ground. In hindsight, I should have picked up the papers from the schools etc., in a sealed envelope and expressed them down to CGFNS. That way I wo...

   You know what, the first time I went, I wasn't too crazy about it either, but then it grew on me. The sunsets are the most amazing I have ever seen, and the sunshine can't be beat. It will be a fun change....new experiences, new people. Still, my ...

   CanNurse06 replied to CanNurse06's topic in International

   Thank you so much for your suggestion. I searched a couple of the Phoenix hospital websites, and you were right - they do recruit for contract and seasonal positions. They even provide housing etc., which I did not expect. Thank you again.
