Hello, i'm dealing with an issue at my work, union often comes when meeting with HR and management, but I find that my union is not representing me well and i feel that the union rep does not have my best interest. what do i do? does anyone have any ...

Hello fellow nurses, I came out of school with a pretty hefty student loan debt (OSAP)... now i'm trying to pay it off but it seems like no matter how much I try to pay each month (average $800/month) I just don't seem to be making a dent. In additio...

Wow reading your thread I thought maybe I had written it and didn't remember .what I mean is this sounds so much like the same situation I was facing. Except at the time I had written the dreaded CRNA... omg I feel so old lol Anyhow, to solve ...

Yes definitely the trick is to go rural you'll get your foot in the door and as a new grad that's what you want and need. I speak from experience . I've had to leave Ontario for Saskatchewan and never regretted it. Good luck!!

Hello, I'm a fairly new grad(started working in '14) working casual/part time at LTCH. I don't get benefits and I was told I was suppose to get 3% in lieu of benefits but I've still to see it. I wonder if anyone knows anything about how the whole i...

I live in Ontario and I'm a member of rnao. What type of insurance am I looking at? For instance can I visit the dentist?

So ur writing the oiiq? That's great. Are you fluent in French? After graduating I've wanted to work in Quebec but wasn't sure if I wanted to write another exam ... How is your medical terminology in French ( for assessment purpose)? Can you suggest ...

just wanted to say that after reading all the post out there saying there's no work for RNs in AB ... your post has just given me a glimpse of hope ... thanks. Hope things will change with a change in government... fingers crossed.

yeah like the post before said ... you don't need a job to get a police clearance AND you get the clearance very fast as well.

wow thats actually very discouraging to hear i've finally made the decision to start my CARNA application in september/october with hopes of finding employment and moving out there spring 2015 ... but it seems like everyone on this site is saying th...

oh yeah for sure... i would move only after securing a position. Also, I've been reading more about the AB job market on here and to be honest I'm getting quite discouraged because everyone is saying the job market isn't any better in AB unless you ...

it's been a year now and i've yet to get a call back from any hospitals in Ontario... so i've decided it's about time i make the move to alberta (everyone seems to be doing it, including a couple of my friends). if you moved or currently work in Alb...

i was just about to post something about my wanting to work in Alberta and then I saw your post and thought I'd read it first. I graduated in 2012 but didn't writer my exam until 2013. I finally found work in later october at a long term care home. ...

Hello everyone, Wondering how you are paying back your student loans (OSAP not bank)? I'm (hopefully) going back to school and I know I'm going to need to borough again but I want to find out how past students are paying back their loans. Are there ...

So inaccurate. It's because of reports like this that everyone outside of nursing believe nursing jobs are easy to find and that we don't struggle after graduating. I guess ignorance is bliss?

I asked the question because I was looking for suggestions. Ppl come on here to provide support not be insulted. And YES I have a job thank you very much. And NO there are other ways (including using your paychecks) to make payments. If you can't be...

That's a very good idea. I might consider that too one day.... Good luck tho. Keep us updated???

Yeah I'm just realizing that things can't be how they used to be. I need to live below my means (even more than I'm doing now) ... I owe quite a bit being in post secondary for over ten yrs after graduating.

Hello, Does anyone know where I can take French medical terminology classes? I'm fluent in French but the medical part is another language on its own. Any advice would be helpful ... Thanks is advance

Oh my god CONGRATULATIONS I guess there is hope for me after all ... You mentioned a request? What request are you talking about? Any help you could offer me?

As the thread said "..." So I've been looking for work for almost three months (had to write CRNE 3x, passed July 2013) and finally I was interviewed for a nursing home job but while at the interview I realized I didn't know much about some of what w...

Electricblack, thanks for posting this thread because I'm in the exact same situation. Just wondering how it turned out for you? Have you been able to find work? I had an interview yesterday at a nursing home but it doesn't look like I'll be getting ...

Graduated in 2012, passed crne a year later and i'm finding it extremely hard to find employment. has nyone had similar experience? can you offer some advice? I live in Toronto and I've been applying for RN posting since I got news in July of my pas...

Hey thanks for the info... i think it would be an excellent idea to take some courses and show initiative, maybe it'll help keep me in the competition. i only have ACLS and wouldn't mind taking other courses. You mentioned RNAO helping fund some cour...
