I have heard that the job market for RN's in Canada sucks (especially new grads). And I am very worried about that. I am a high school student. I applied to both RN and RPN programs, both of which I got into.
I am not sure which one to choose. Will there be more jobs for RPNs (since they get paid less)? Will there be more jobs for RNs in the future when I'd graduate in 4 years?
I know that you can't be too picky when looking for jobs and that you have to take what you can get and be willing to relocate, and network. But even doing that I heard people are having a hard time getting a job.
I am in Ontario if that helps anyone answer.
If you are a recent new grad, how are you dealing with finding a job. Or even if you are an experienced nurse what have you observed in the job market?
Maybe I shouldn't be this worried as I didn't even start nursing school yet, but it just makes me sad that so many people don't have jobs, and I really don't wanna be in that situation in the future.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
