My family is in Saskatchewan. I am in the States. Wanting to be with my family. My family ( one of my cousins is an RN) and friends in Canada tell me that Saskatchewan really needs nurses bad, but on this site it sounds like there is not much of a need. I don't know if my family is just trying to be optimistic about me getting a job offer or what the real situation is for nursing there. Even the border control people tell me that Saskatchewan needs nurses and would be happy to get a US educated nurse. When i look online there are not a whole lot of job postings for Regina area. Am i just looking in the wrong places or is there really not a high need for nurses in Saskatchewan?
I have done everything i need to do to be able to apply for jobs. I have passed the CRNE. I am just not sure what types of nursing jobs are most in need and where. It is hard to rely only on the internet for job potential opportunities. It seems that mostly ICU positions are available and I am not sure i am a good fit for the ICU. I would like to do Renal Dialysis, Med -Surg, Outpatient Surgery, Psyc, home care, Infusion nursing, or work for blood sevices... i think i am a good fit for any of these previously mentioned areas...
Does anyone know where i could find these types of jobs at in the Regina area?

Hi blarn,
Although I am not from Canada I've been living there for two years. I moved to USA last August from a small town close to Regina. I can tell you that they need many nurses and the salaries are good.
Hi Vhanesa... Thank you for the response... Good to Know!
