  1. Are there Rn jobs in Edmonton/Calgary? 2016

    thistooshallpass replied to Kwas's topic in Canada

    I agree that the job market in Edmonton is tough- it took me several months to get a position in AHS as a newly graduated nurse with no seniority to speak of. And while I can't say how quickly one can...

  2. Getting in to School

    thistooshallpass replied to funkyskirt's topic in Canada

    Hi funkyskirt! Like others have suggested, it might be a good idea to look at what prerequisites the programs you're thinking of going into require and take those classes. It's after you've taken...

  3. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass posted a topic in Canada

    Hi everyone, I graduated semi-recently back in August and am currently job hunting. I had an interview with AHS (Alberta Health Services) nearly a month ago in February and haven't heard anything. I...

    As an update, I finally heard back about that job I interviewed for a little over a month ago and I GOT THE JOB! So excited about this opportunity! Thanks for the replies

  5. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    I'm very sorry to hear about that I had an interview for a casual position and, after the comments left on this thread, decided to mention that while I was available for all shifts, I had a...

    That's a great suggestion! Thank you Joanna- I'll add that

  8. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Oh I'm sorry. When I was a student I preferred nights and weekends because it meant I might actually get to sit and chart on time and employed I believe I'll still be partial to those shifts because...

  9. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Oh wow, that's terrible! I'm so sorry I know when I was preceptoring as a student my unit would sometimes only have one RN for the entire night shift (when there should be at least two) and that...

  10. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Ah I see. Yes, I can see how the economy would impact health care and employment availibility. Relocation is something I've considered (especially after speaking with some American recruiters at a...

  11. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Three months later? That's crazy! Were those for acute care positions? Ah, I see. A little unfortunate that they tend to sit in limbo since to "hurry up and wait" isn't a forte of mine. Still, I...

  12. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Oh my, no word at all? At the very least I thought you would get a courtesy email telling you that another applicant has been selected; I think if I didn't hear anything back it would drive me a...

  13. Hearing back from AHS

    thistooshallpass replied to thistooshallpass's topic in Canada

    Six weeks even for an internal applicant! I see. Honestly, I was half expecting replies to indicate something like, "a month is too long, you should let this one go" but your reply gives me a little...
