Fiona59 I do not need to be told by you what to do with my life.

Hi thanks for the responses thus far. I am getting a bit down after reading what some of you had said and I do not know if that is because you had a bad experience when you graduated but that does not mean that I have to settle for LTC or corrections. I just was looking at the government of AB website and they have a program for bringing over foreign workers. This is not right they should be making sure they hire all new grads before allowing foreigners to come here and steal our jobs. I do not have any income right now to even consider a move to a small town. Some nurses I have spoken to tell me to go directly to managers. I think this is the next step in trying to find a job. It is a real shame when you spend 4 years in full time university only to be on the verge of bankruptcy and unable to find a job. There is something not quite right with this picture. I am sure you all can agree.

Hi Everyone, I am having a difficult time finding a job in Calgary. I apply on the AHS website all the time for the jobs being posted. The only interview I had was because I called the unit I wanted to work on and I was given an interview. I do not know the outcome yet but I am hopeful. I am looking for some advice. I want to work at Foothills hospital. What is the best way to get my foot in the door? I am an RN and a recent New Grad. 1. Applying through AHS? 2. Making phone calls to unit managers and asking if they are hiring casuals? 3. Physically going down to the hospital and hand out resumes to managers? Thank you and I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Hi there, I am about to start this licensing by endorsement process. I will keep this forum updated on my progress. The biggest challenge has been getting my nursing school to do an education breakdown. I have a BSN from a Canadian university. We shall see if I meet the requirements for state licensure.
