Hello, I am a LPN living in Alberta and I want to move back to BC, preferably the Okanagan and there are no jobs! What is going on there and what's up with the wages? There are lots of jobs in Calgary, will this eventually happen in BC too?

Hi, I'm taking the LPN to Rn program through Athabasca right now, I live in Calgary and completed my LPN through Columbia college, (the LPN program through Columbia college was 14months, I think they lowered it even more). After I graduated I did have to wait a year before being enrolled in the Bachelor program, what I didn't know was that I could still have been working on cluster A courses, which you can do without being in the program. If i did that I would be done my RN so much quicker. Cluster A courses mostly consist of non nursing courses.
