nursing in critical care
Hi
This is my first thread so bear with me folks!
Myself, my three year old daughter and my mum are in the process of emigrating to Canada, nowhere set in stone as yet but Saskatchewan really appeals I think. We are using Brazolot to help us and hope it goes smoothly. I am wondering if anyone can offer any guidance on the above but especially work as a Critical Care Nurse. Is it good conditions? basically anything abt the life of a canadian nurse would be really appreciated!
Thanks for ur time!

I'm afraid I know very little about nursing in Canada - that said, there's someone I've noticed a few times on here named Yoong who seems to answers many of the nursing related posts . Plus there's the whole Nursing forum bit of the site (don't know if you've looked there?).
Pretty vague, but useful I hope.

Re: nursing in critical care
You should read the nursing WIKI http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Nursing-Canada which gives you info about getting your registration and gives links to the various nursing bodies. Nursing in Canada is quite heavily unionised so if you find out which union the hospitals in your area are affiliated to you can take a look at the contract online.
I am nursing in Nova Scotia so a different area I know, but I have found the conditions good and the people friendly and helpful.
Good luck with your plans.

Not trying to be funny, but curious to know what attracted you to Sask in particular?

Re: nursing in critical care
I work in ICU in smaller hospital (10 bed unit) amd have been there 18 months, generally people are friendly.
Be prepared for a change though. things that we had 10 years go are seen as innovative, evidence based practise is hit and miss, pm me for specific questions if you like.
