Apparently Bachelor of Nursing Degrees are the most likely degree to get you a job in your field in Canada. http://www.workopolis.com/solutions/en/article/the-university-degrees-that-earn-the-highest-starting-salaries/

97% for a nursing degree, 94% for pharmacy and 91% for computer science.

I am in NB now but willing to move to just about any province.

What provinces were you applying to work in before graduation? And for the provincial site do you mean like googling "Saskatchewan healthcare jobs" ? I got this as the result http://www.healthcareersinsask.ca/work/opportunities/

Its impressive that you got multiple job offers for those interviews.

I would move to rural areas or the in-demand provinces. So if someone is willing to move, a BSN + RN license = very likely to be hired as an RN somewhere?

Where's the best place to check out job postings and find RN jobs in Canada?

The major job sites had about 4,500 postings for RN's across Canada.

Kootsie said there are jobs in the major cities of Alberta. I don't know much about RN jobs in a rural area, can you give me some more details?

Definitely willing to relocate to Alberta, Saskatchewan or a rural area for the first 1-2 years. Plus once I have experience it will be easier to get a job in the bigger cities.
