I am very eager to work...I am willing to take just about anything. I was told that my resume is fine, maybe it is my cover letter that stinks. I was talking to a coworker that told me her sister...

That sounds great! I actually looked at the site and right now for the Toronto area they only have volunteer opportunities for Dog therapy (I do not own a dog). I got an email for a travel clinic...

I am taking it at Humber College. I really wanted to take the emergency/critical care certificate at BCIT but I have to be working in a hospital....I really hope it helps me stand

Thank you! I really appreciate the time you took to give me this information. I believe you may be correct about the incompetence of HR, I have emailed HR in Nunavut and Moose Factory twice and they...

I am enrolled in an ER program, I am also now in the process of applying to North Dakota. As I understand, if I am out of Ontario for 3 years I will no longer be able to return? I spoke to one of the...

I always individualize my cover letters. I did phone 2 nurse managers for jobs I have applied to MANY times (that keeps getting posted!). There are no experience necessary posted on these postings so...
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
Congrats!! It's worth a shot to phone the managers. I will try that on Monday. I have applied to every and anything, still nothing. I don't know if its just Ontario that is brutal or my resume just...

Yes, understandable. As someone that is desperate, this seems like my only ticket to an actual nursing job. Other nurses are able to do it, I'm sure I can handle
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
Also to make it clear, they did not look to recruit anyone from Canada. It was another Canadian RN I spoke to that went to the U.S when she could not find a job here. Yes, she worked horrible working...

I phoned a couple recruiters in rural U.S. they are hiring new grads, I assume it is also places that not many would want to work. I have to go to where the jobs are, it beats staying here doing...

I am worried about the safety issue of having to care for 30+ residents at once. Especially with medication administration, there is such a narrow window period to do all the necessary assessments...
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
Thanks, I am now in the process of getting my paperwork for the U.S. I have checked out the information on the new grad hire in B.C. and I see that individuals that are from B.C will be given...
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
Thats the problem, I really want to become an ER nurse but it seems impossible. Nobody seems to willing on giving new grads a chance and even obtaining a certificate in a particular specialty requires...
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
Thanks for the response, I really do not mind relocating, my biggest problem is I do not have a drivers license. Most of the time these jobs require a car. I received another call from a hospital in...
Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada
As I understand by talking to my manager today, omitting is not the same as lying. Some people omit things that are not relevant to the particular job which is understandable however lying is never...

It appears to me that some nurses are cutthroat and worried about themselves and their budgets. Do you care about my daily financial struggles? Nope because thats NOT YOUR problem but yet still I...
