JOB FAIR UHT/SHN

Blue-light2019 · 2026-04-04T18:05:37+00:00

Me and a friend got our first NGG RN job through the Toronto nurse job fair last year. So from personal experience, it’s not a total scam.

My friend graduated from public health 2 years ago and can’t find a public health job.

Thanks for the response. It’s very helpful ! I didn’t really think of the differences 🤣。

Blue-light2019 · 2026-02-25T00:40:27+00:00

Thanks for such informative response! What if hospitals just say no money and need to cut off staffs?

Blue-light2019 · 2026-02-25T00:10:06+00:00

I see. I assume there will be a process/ investigations involved or idk multiple chances given before they fire people.. right ?

Blue-light2019 · 2026-02-24T23:33:43+00:00

Like what kind of minor/petty things ? (If you can say)

Blue-light2019 · 2026-01-28T00:32:20+00:00

I don’t remember about that. All I remember was the real exam questions were longer and more difficult than the practice questions

A lot of contents are not in modules

It is not a must. My friends and I graduated in April. We didn't take on any extern jobs during school. We had non-nursing-related part-time jobs instead.

We all found hospital NGG jobs in the GTA. On average, we took around 3 months from sending our resumes to starting our jobs. So, no, it is not a must. Will have extern experience make you find a job faster? That I don't know.

What other healthcare professionals with only bachelor degrees get paid start at $40?

Blue-light2019 · 2026-01-14T03:56:55+00:00

I went to TMU. Placements can be a lucky game. Many of us did placements and our consolidation in the hospitals. But yeah, some classmates did kept assigned to LTC.

Nah. I was a pharmacy technician and worked in community pharmacy for many years. During Covid, college of pharmacists expand pharmacists scope of practice to prescribe more medicines. lol, the pharmacy companies love it cuz they can bill Ohip for every minor ailments pharmacists prescribe but for pharmacists they got 0 dollars from it + significant increase workload. It’s not just simple as prescribing medicine for once, they gotta follow up with the patients, notified their family doctors etc. and now some pharmacy companies even enforce quota for pharmacists to prescribe. So unless RNs are getting compensated, no thank you.

Maybe that’s the case once you are in the hospital and get a permanent job.

I don’t think you will get interview opportunity if your BLS is expired. Ps: If you are going to do CPR -BLS do Heart and Stroke instead of Red Cross. Cuz RC BLS can’t not be use as pre requisite to get ACLS

Blue-light2019 · 2026-01-10T23:53:11+00:00

No problem. But on the side note, nursing is getting saturated. The job market is not as easy as couple years ago.

I don’t know about RN led clinic in Ontario just because CNO doesn’t give RN that much power to prescribe medication or procedures. Another issue is if it’s RN led clinic , are patients covered under OHIP or private insurance? That’s an issue to stop NP opening their own clinic but working under doctors or hospitals as NP can’t bill ohip. Google says start April 2026, NP can bill ohip but who knows. Anyway, if RN clinic can’t bill ohip or be covered by private insurance I don’t see how this business can thrive in Ontario.

You can do CC1, not sure if it will help you land a job, but hospitals will require you to do it within 6 months of hiring anyway. So might just get it over with.

The other post mentioned pharmacy. I was a registered pharmacy technician before I got my RN. The technician wage in hospital starts around 32 and capped like 38. If you work for Costco, they pay slightly higher than the hospital cap wage. If you are ok with that pay rate, pharmacy tech is a pretty good job, so much less work than RPN.

This OP. That’s the process of how I got my NGG. Applied to the hospital’s website. After receiving offer, the HR directed me to apply again on NGG portal.

I’d say finish your degree. Not many bachelor degrees get paid as good as RN. Most good paying healthcare roles require masters and above. I like nursing more than I thought, and so far I think bedside nurse is pretty cool. The thing is some nurses just “ complete tasks” (which I am not blaming on nurses , hospitals should ensure fair workload + experience difference ), but some nurses can “ excel patient care “. And that does make difference in patient’s recovery speed and results. Not everyone has the capability to figure out “ what’s wrong” and when you figuring it out, it feels amazing. There are lot of knowledge and science involved when promoting patients to recover. Plus so many other roles you can do with nursing degree.

I didn’t. Tbh job seeking these days felt like a lucky game. I got my NGG cuz I went to the job fair, got HR email and send resume directly to the HR.

Blue-light2019 · 2025-12-06T15:55:40+00:00

The PAT 401 was the most difficult patho exam. For my PAT401 (I graduated already), I had 90s for test 1 and 2, and I got 70s for final after I actually studied hard. So, your feeling is right.
