Hello everyone, Thanks for offering your advice and some other interesting information. I have applied for the position and am now waiting to be contacted.

Hi Everyone, I'm currently in my final practicum placed in a community mental health organization where they help people get off the streets into homes. It's a really great organization and I love having my clinical there. One of the nurses just left and I am debating whether to apply for the empty position. I graduate in less than a month and would need to apply very soon. I plan to move to Vancouver from Alberta in summer 2013 as I said in a previous post and wonder if it would be easier to find a job in Vancouver with hospital experience over community? Should I go with the basics in the hospital or go for this job that will give me experience in a field I want to work in? In the future, I hope to continue working with the homeless population. Any advice?

Hello, I am a nursing student who will be graduating in April in Calgary, AB. I plan to work in AB for a year and then my family will move to Vancouver. I hear it is very difficult for new grads to find jobs in Vancouver and that the working conditions leave much to be desired. Is that true? If I plan to move mid 2013, when should I register for BC registration? Someone said you should have your registration passed before applying for jobs, is that also true? Any help would be appreciated.
