    fingers_crossed replied to frances81's topic in Canada

  5. Handing Resumes to Managers In Person

    fingers_crossed replied to fingers_crossed's topic in Canada

    This seems like a good solution, email being a little less intrusive than visiting in person. How did you find the manager's email? I can't even find out the name of the managers for the units I'm...

  6. Handing Resumes to Managers In Person

    fingers_crossed replied to fingers_crossed's topic in Canada

    I have never heard this from a manager, but instructors throughout my nursing education mentioned it, some of whom are also floor nurses on the units. I have also heard this among nursing friends who...

    fingers_crossed replied to tparno's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  10. U of C Degree holder/Transfer Route Nursing Jan 2016

    fingers_crossed replied to tparno's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    fingers_crossed replied to fingers_crossed's topic in Canada

    The province I plan to work in is Manitoba, and I don't want to take for granted the fact that it will be easy to get a job, but it's genuinely not a concern for me at the moment (although I keep an...

    fingers_crossed replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    fingers_crossed replied to Lucia1225's topic in Canada Nursing Programs
