Thanks for all the replies, the NP role is still in its infancy in Canada and we are NPs are finding that we have to educate people about the role, but given how fragmented the Canadian health care system is and how many people do not have health care providers, the future looks bright, so i would say if you want to be an NP....FORGE AHEAD. The more the merrier. I would look at all the feed back i recieved back, except for fort st John, i actually lived there for a year when i was 17....don't think i can handle that cold again.

Hello, we have taken into account that we will be paying more for housing, feeding etc, but we are looking to get out of the cold...its a trade we are willing to make. I don't want to live in Vancouver itself but am looking at coquitlam, surrey, delta etc....mainly the outskirts or Victoria. I guess i was looking for some tips on where to look for jobs for, how to pass the osce etc. Any advise would be helpful

Hello all, I am presently in an NP program in another province in Canada, but i and my family are thinking of moving to the Vancouver area after my program is done. I am a little worried because there seems to be a paucity in the amount of available jobs and for the dreaded OSCEs. I have three questions for NP in this province 1. what is the present job climate 2. How long can i practice on a provisional licence 3. would it be advisable to complete my final rotation in BC, would this make it easier to get a job and transition 4. Any advise on OSCE and on moving as well Thanks a lot

try linkedin, they have np groups that may interest...i also visit np blogs as well
