  1. 'Backcheck' before interview?

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in Canada

    I had applied for a job posting at the London Health Sciences Centre. While I never thought much of it, to my surprise they emailed me back asking to fill out the online application and fax it back to...

  2. Part-Time RN vacation pay

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in Canada

    I have a question here for anyone who works as a part-time RN in Ontario. Recently, I became part of the float team so I would be able to take advantage of the benefits and a pension (only down side...

  3. Where is the nursing shortage?

    fleetfoxRN replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know most of you talking here live in US, but in Southern Ontario here there is no nursing shortage. I came from a pretty big graduating class. I was part of 90 out of 1000 who applied to a nursing...

  4. Any job, anywhere?

    fleetfoxRN replied to ubcgirl's topic in Canada

    I wouldn't ever move into a city with a casual position. I would take the part time position. I was part time for almost a year and I made pretty good money, even for 48 hours of work (bi weekly). The...

  5. I failed CRNE. what's next?

    fleetfoxRN replied to fairy_C's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    fairy_C I think that's entirely your decision and how comfortable you feel. I think you need to take a couple of weeks and relax, do things you enjoy. As for taking it in June or writing it in...

    fleetfoxRN replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

  7. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    fleetfoxRN replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    I got a job fairly quickly, however, I worked in community first. Not something I'd really advise when you're a new grad. Just because half the stuff in community you've never really seen. 6 months...

  8. I failed CRNE. what's next?

    fleetfoxRN replied to fairy_C's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Fairy, I'm sorry to hear about the bad news, but keep your chin up. With my graduating class in 2011, almost a QUARTER of those who took the June 2011 CRNE failed in my city. How did you do in school...

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in International Nursing

    I couldn't find any posts on here recently except for something back in 2008/2009, but I wanted some help from recent grads or Canadian RN's who decided to work in the US. I'm taking my NCLEX exam on...

  10. Employer screwed up my pay! = NO pay.

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in International Nursing

  11. Applying for RN positions with pending MI license.

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was just wondering if any of you applied for jobs before you had your license? Or if you received a response from any potential employers if you did? The reason I'm asking is because, I sent away...

  12. Quit new job after 2 days.

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in International Nursing

  17. US citizen seeking UK life

    fleetfoxRN replied to cstamey's topic in International Nursing

    As a UK citizen, i'll tell you right now it's not that easy. Even if you get married, they won't necessarily let just anyone in the country. They have a massive immigration problem as it is....

  18. Options after failing CRNE 3 times

    fleetfoxRN replied to PPAA's topic in International Nursing

    If you guys are that upset about degree holders being able to write the CRPNE, you should write to the CNO about it. You can bet that if the option is THERE, I'd take it. Anyone who successfully...

  19. Hiring Freeze in Detroit Area?

    fleetfoxRN replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This may seem like a really obvious question, but do you have your Michigan license yet? Or have you went to Nursys to have your license from where you live, verified? I live across from Detroit and...

    fleetfoxRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
