Hi qveronica Fortunately, I did get a job as a causal for now in long term care facility. I went to talk to them and they decided to hire me as a casual. I don't know exactly the ways but I went to the place and talked to them. It's that not easy. It took me almost 4 months to get this job and you will get there,don't give up.I have talked to many recruiters about job in hospitals but there is none for IEN not because they don't have any but first,they have to hire ESN who already worked with them and experienced nurse. I just hope someday it will be our turn. Wish you luck for the exam.

Hi Dishes Thank you for your PM. I couldn't reply as PM but hope you get this message. Believe it or not? I recently graduated from the program that you recommend. I recently talked to some of my classmates and they are struggling as well, not even one third of us get hired. It must be a wrong time to graduate but I will keep hunting and take any possibilities that come up.

Hi I have a link here from BCNU web-site telling us about cutting back funding effected in many area in BC. You will see why competition so high for IEN and the whole picture of health care before consideration your moving. Let just hope it not too long. http://www.bcnu.org/campaigns_issues/pdfs/hc_cuts_what_we_know.pdf

Hi all I already passed CRNE. Thank Janfrn for explanation. It's true that BC still need a lot of nurses. However, the one who has more experience will get priority with leaving interim permit like me hanging in the air. Just keep my finger cross and wish this situation will get better soon.

Thanks qveronica ,yes I applied hospitals, nursing facility and agency but stuck with requirement of 250 hrs temporary license. I just a med-surg nurse.

Hello All I just wondering that anyone experienced like me or just me. I am IEN and live in Vancouver. I have been looking for a job for 3 months now. Unfortunately, all I heard was there was no position. I understand that there is high demand for nurse in BC. Anybody has any idea or suggestion for me. I am so desperated right now. Thanks
