  1. New registration and immigration

    dayandnight replied to anarid's topic in International Nursing

    They still have that but in reality a lot of nurses over the age of 30 does not qualify since the points system works heavily against older working age professionals.. (unless the English score is...

  2. New registration and immigration

    dayandnight replied to anarid's topic in International Nursing

    THere is no way for nurses to get a working visa because it is nearly impossible for hospitals to sponsor nurses nowadays in Canada. You must find your own way of immigrating in Canada. It is a...

  3. What is Nursing like (Ontario)?

    dayandnight replied to s3kovacs's topic in Canada

    In BC, casual nurses (lpn and rn) can get pension and benefits (which you have to pay ). but I agree with getting good hours as a casual. People like making your own schedule as a casual. Many people...

  5. RN in London, Ontario

    dayandnight replied to lkm812's topic in Canada

    Don't lose hope! Did you do any refresher courses? If you did, apply to where you did your clinicals. In BC, many iens are hired at hospitals, so I am sure in Ontario where they are short of RN's you...

  6. Working in MedSurg with ONLY RNs...

    dayandnight replied to newgradnurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    It's very common in Canada across the country to have only RN or LPNS in the unit with no care aids but please do not say LPNs take care of the cleaning feeding and taking vital signs. If you are an...

  7. Nursing Levels in BC

    dayandnight replied to StrawberryJam's topic in Canada

    No to be honest any schools outside of BC will not be that well known in BC. Canada prefers in-country grads. The only thing out of province and out of country graduates should focus is on experience....

  8. Province Relocation

    dayandnight replied to ChantalC15's topic in Canada

    I have a coworker who came from Alberta this year. She said it's not the easiest market for new grads to find work after graduation. look into the job market before deciding to move. It may change...

  9. Moving to Seattle from Vancouver, BC

    dayandnight replied to vanlink's topic in Washington Nursing

    As a person who has lived in both countries, (Seattle as a nursing student and Vancouver as a nurse) I can easily say it is actually easier to save money in Vancouver starting out as a new grad. With...

  10. LPN job prospects in BC

    dayandnight replied to Raj.deep's topic in Canada

  11. Perioperative Nursing in Toronto vs Vancouver areas?

    dayandnight replied to Devilkat84's topic in Canada

    In terms of pay, specialty nurses do not get paid that much in BC. they get a 50 dollar extra pay with each paycheck and that is about it. Vancouver is short of OR nurses but the problem is it is very...

  12. Can a manager force you to stay for the next shift if relief does not arrive?

    dayandnight replied to Guest878640's topic in Canada

    A lot of the staff extend 4 hrs to work 16 hours total but it is not forced unless you are the only rn in the entire unit/setting, in which case you do need to stay until relief

  13. Ontario RPN moving to BC - job market?

    dayandnight replied to ILoveSmurfs's topic in Canada

    It's been very bad to get position for lpns in bc in the past few years but getting a casual job won't be that hard and the job market seems to be improving. The issue is I see many new lpns getting...

  14. Options other than med/surg for new nursing grads in major Canadian cities?

    dayandnight replied to Nurse2bSophie123's topic in Canada

    Actually due to the shortage here it's not as competitive as you think to land a general nursing job. I have seen new grads get into l&d. Most RN new grads are able to land a casual job very...

  15. Options other than med/surg for new nursing grads in major Canadian cities?

    dayandnight replied to Nurse2bSophie123's topic in Canada

    Here is my advice. My friend from Ontario was able to do her consolidation/clinical preceptorship at BC children's hospital. Some schools may be able to offer some sort of a opportunity like that. Try...

  16. Nursing student jobs?

    dayandnight replied to Demokan's topic in Canada

  18. Needs direction on RN

    dayandnight replied to Rajjub's topic in Nurse Registration

    It depends on the CNO's decision. If you have not practiced in the last 3 years as an RN you will be asked to take the refresher course. If not they will ask you to take the NCLEX straight away or...

  19. Medication Route

    dayandnight replied to Ayaoba's topic in Canada

    Are you a nursing student? always ask the doctkr for an alternate route or medication if the patient only has po. you can also ask the pharmacist for advice. Also do not ever crush a po med and inject...

  20. Alberta vs BC nursing job prospects 2018

    dayandnight replied to peppa103's topic in Canada

    We are desperately short of nurses all across the province really... most new grads have no problem finding causal jobs shortly after graduation

  21. No experience as RN

    dayandnight replied to Aurora2018's topic in Canada

    With no experience of 3 years or more, CNO makes the full refresher course mandatory. I recommend it anyways because it's good for you to relearn the skills and it's safer for your

  22. about be a canada nurse.

    dayandnight replied to Hazel Han's topic in Canada

    I didn't say English was a negligible issue. If that were the case I wouldn't have mentioned it. It is not like I said it's unfair that my friend was not able to keep up her English score. She...

    dayandnight replied to Hazel Han's topic in Canada

    If you went to school in countries other than USA, be prepared for a long ride. Most nurses from Asian countries take 3-5years to become a Canadian nurse, mostly due to the English proficiency scores....

  24. Any nurses working out BC can tell me how the job market is?

    dayandnight replied to RNsteve's topic in Canada

    If you look at Abbotsford, (30min from Chilliwack) the hospital there is very very short of nurses, tons of overtime, even for casual and regular full time staff. You will have no problem getting in...

  25. ON to N orthern Health B. C.

    dayandnight replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada
