Quebec nurse wants to relocation to Alberta

[Javel01]

Hello fellow colleagues,

Am a nurse with over 7 years experience in this

profession, I want to relocate to Edmonton but

it is so difficult to find a job. I was so

discouraged; I have 5 years experience

working in Med/Surg. I have applied to

over 40 positions with Alberta Healt Services

for the past 6 months with only one interview.

I thought that Canada was short of nurses.

It is so discouraging after gaining all these

experiences and education and to having

such a hard time finding a job. I've been told

that my résumé is impressive but still

haven't found a job. I would really like to relocate to

Alberta but now am thinking such think else where

but don't want to be paying every year for 3-4 provincial

nursing permits.

Some small communities in Canada are short of experienced nurses and are accepting travel nurses for short term contracts.
