Thanks for your reply 'thistooshallpass', are you still working in a temporary line and how are jobs looking so far for Rn's on your unit/ward or hospital? Thank you! Regards

Thank you for your responses nurses in Alberta I am still in small town Saskatchewan working in a Full-time Permanent position on a Medicine- Palliative unit.I am still considering moving back to Edmonton but after reading all the comments I am just worried about job security if I were to do so especially as I have no speciality in nursing at this time. Also most of my former classmates are in temporary lines although they are still working.Would you happen to have any slight information about how the situation will be over the next couple of months with AHS? Are they still going to be posting positions without hiring? How secure would my job be if I say applied and wanted to start a temporary line by the end of summer this year? Thanks!

Hie all, I am an RN who graduated last year in Edmonton and moved earlier this year to Saskatchewan for a full time permanent job.Prior to moving I was working in Edmonton in a casual position (Medicine float pool).I had applied for full time positions there, but was not able to land a position. Therefore,I applied in Saskatchewan and in a matter of a few weeks landed a position there.Although it is not my dream job I find I am able to pay off my student debt faster this way.However, I have been considering moving back to Alberta in either Calgary or Edmonton next year in about 6 months.I would like to find out from those of you who are there how the job market is there for RNS and how quickly one can find a job there especially full time or permanent positions? would it be worth moving back in the near future.Thank you I appreciate your feedback!

Hie all, i took the nclex on jan 5 2016. Sources used were Saunders: awesome for content, read it cover to cover answered most of the end of chapter questions and it really helped me gather all the knowledge needed for the nclex.i also used u world, lacharity and ' prioritization, delegation and management of care' by Hargrove huttel and kathryn Colgrove they are absolutely necessary sources for the nclex.Read the rationales because although the questions are tough, the rationales help to prepare for the Nclex. I finished in 75 questions in 1hour 50 minutes.I must say that the exam is challenging and requires a strong content base which Saunders provides, as well as practicing questions.

Hello Judesown, Do you still work in the kootenays region? I am an upcoming new graduate nurse(working towards Rn) wondering about job opportunities in that area, specifically cranbrook bc.I am just wondering if this area easily hires nurses and if you may know what the job trends are in the kootenays? By the way I am currently in Edmonton Ab.Thank you so much

Hello, I am student nurse in Edmonton planning to move to lower mainland when I graduate this year.I am just wondering, did you manage to get work in that area and how is it looking like for new graduate nurses upcoming? I am still deciding whether its worth it to actually move.I was thinking of Abbotsford or Chilliwack.

Hello I am just wondering if you managed to get a nursing position with Fraser health? I currently live in Edmonton and planning to move there after I graduate this year within the Abbotsford, Chilliwack areas.I am wondering how the job situation for nurses is there? especially for new grads

Hello, thank you for this post.I am just wondering what this means for those of us graduating this year.Does this mean it will be harder to land a position in Alberta and that casual nursing jobs will now be hard to come by?I currently live in Edmonton by the way.

Thanks for this information everyone! I appreciate your insight!

Hello, I was told that SK would be really miserable in the winter and as a recent immigrant I have really disliked the winters in Alberta therefore I am starting to consider warmer locations in Canada.Also, I actually have a significant number of family members in Chilliwack BC.As for the interior of BC, certain people have informed me that it might be challenging to find all year round work.Therefore, I am keeping my options quite open right now and hope that knowledgeable Canadians can inform me of the best place to be!Thanks.

I am a student nurse going into the final year in Edmonton.I have future plans to settle in Chilliwack BC. I would like the honest opinion of any RNs working there, pertaining to the work situation.That is, would Chilliwack BC be a good place to settle with family and have a stable work situation as an RN, even if the work starts out as casual? Thank you all for your time.

Thankyou for this information.Are there any locations in Saskatchewan that are worth relocating to for nursing jobs?

Thankyou!
