Unemployed for 3 years

World Canada

Published

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday I have recieved a letter from the College of Nurses stating if I have not practiced nursing in three years my liscence will be from General Class to Non Practice. I am frustrated because I have worked so hard to earn my liscence and for the past 3 years and I have been trying to get a job, because of this I have been working on Continuing Education courses for the past 2 years to be eligible to apply to the Bridging Program. It feels like I am the only one not getting work. I think this will interfere because I am intending to apply for this course for next year. If I don't get a job by December I feel like I have lost everything that I have worked hard for.

I do not drive but I am planning on staying at my relatives in mississauga if I have to work in Hamilton! I will be heading down to Peel Region to send some resumes.

Specializes in geriatrics.

The Go train is extensive. Even though you don't drive, you can get around the GTA pretty easy. Many people don't use their cars.

Depends how badly you want to work. I'd start applying to Hamilton, Burlington, Mississauga, Barrie, Brampton, even Niagara Falls. People commute every day from all over.

Thank you everyone for your advise and sugguestions! I have been searching fornwork outside the GTA and I have landed a job in Pickering at a Retirement home. I also completed so cerifications for the mean time to keep me up to date with my skills and to help get a job interview.

Have you applied to agencies especially for flu clinics? Dropping into agencies to hand in your resume is more effective than just sending in your resume via email/fax.
