hi kim... im went to an interview for the RN position... they offered me a job but i didn't think it was for me since the hours are from 6-2... m-f something like that. i just couldn't do it since i live in the east end of toronto and the position was downtown which meant that i'd have to leave my house at like 5 or earlier. nope, not for me. but anyway, basically the RN's were there to supervise the "treatments", check vitals, IV's (i dont know why a diet clinic would need any iv's) and give IM shots... possibly for nutrients since the bernstein diet rips you off for that. the payscale wasn't very attractive either.. i remember it being somewhere around the $20 - 21 range and the RPN scale was 2 dollars less. good luck to you... hope u make the right choice!

Hi everyone... i'm thinking of doing the BsCN online through UBC.... does anyone know anything about it?! i want to get it asap and the schools in toronto work through lottery so there aren't many spots. does anyone have any advice? input? know of anyone who'd gone through it? please write back... thanks for all the help!

hi, hang in there... you are right, the job market is tough especially in Toronto... there really are no job opportunities for us new grads. its really difficult and its so competitive. ARRGH. i'm in the same situation but have you tried looking into other provinces? going to the states? i'm sure u can find better opportunities ELSEWHERE. if not, for now i recommend you to apply to an agency (if you live in toronto, i recommend carecor) they will place you in many different areas just so you can get your foot through the door. its true, a lot of nurses don't feel so great about agency nurses but you have to be strong... they'll pay you at least 28/hr - 32/hr depending ont he facility. just network...its reality its who you know, not what you know. like i said earlier, i'm in the same shoes and still nowhere... the job market sucks especially for someone like me who totally hates total care. haha. i'm planning to go back to school / move away... then get my bscn then possibly apply to a pharmeceuticals company to work as a med rep. crazy eh. lol. anyway, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to msg me. good luck... just keep handing out your resume and go to the job fairs... there are also some resume workshops coming up. take care
