Search for a Job
Below we’ve provided links to the leading job search engines available for nurses in Canada. It’s important to realize that many jobs are never posted. It’s called the “hidden job market,” and information about available work is circulated through managers’ networks of co-workers, associates and friends. The best way to open these doors is to be in touch with organizations, or other nurses who work in organizations where you would like to work.
- Contact potential employers.
- Join nursing association peer groups and professional interest groups to build a network.
- Visit job and career fairs.
All of these activities will give you an edge over the competition on finding new nursing opportunities including those that aren’t posted!
