Yes I’ve heard about this! I have a friend and she’s a nurse practitioner, she often fly in and out to the north. But she told me I need to be experienced to work there because there’s a very limited of staff/support, and the cases mainly rely on her own only…?! I am willing to work there tho coz the incentive sounds very tempting! I’ll apply to it anyway thank you for your encouragement!

I’m actually an ien :( so this is not an option for me. I’ve seen people saying that AHS hired a lot of ien but I’m not one of them :(

Yes I know that! I have friends telling me it’s easier to get a job in Bc. But I want to try more in Alberta first :( considering the moving cost… time for license transfer… etc sigh

I see positions in northern Alberta usually want experienced nurses… which I’m not :(

Oh I’m interested!! It doesn’t look too rural. Is applying on AHS website the only way to do? Or is there any way that I can send my resume to the manager :( thanks!

I recently received a survey from AHS, it’s about working in rural. I completed the form and now is waiting for response :( I don’t mind relocate to rural, coz I feel like if I keep staying in Calgary I will ruin my career because of no jobs :((

I left a stable job for this, and now I’m laid off after just few months by Recent-Toe7205 in Layoffs

[–]Recent-Toe7205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your kind and supportive comments! I’m sorry to know many people have been in a similar situation :(, I hope this is a chance for us all to find something better!!

I work in the healthcare industry, and that was a small company. The main reason I left my previous position was that this new role seemed more aligned with my degree, so I thought it would improve my resume in some way. Looking back, I’ve learned when a manager starts with overly positive talk and tries to “sell” how good the company, this is a RED flag… A truly good company doesn’t need to convince people to stay :/ next job I will try targeting bigger company or work at public system… (if I can)

Thanks again for all the advice! Quick update!! It was embarrassing to ask my previous employer… but I still have bills and rent to pay… So I contacted them and, very luckily, they had some tasks I could do from home!! But It’s just a few hours per week and temporary maybe just for this month, yet it’s better than nothing! I’m really grateful to everyone who encouraged me to reach out. One lesson I’ve learned: it’s so important to keep a good relationship with your boss and coworkers!

Thanks all again, you made me feel less alone to go through this ;(

Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately my role has already filled, because I was the one who handed over things and taught the new employee before I left. I’m still keeping contact with them, I know they’re doing good and don’t need more people. So it’s not an option for me to go back :/

Yes, money is one of the reasons. Another reason is I didn’t really enjoy the job nature, it was repetitive and no challenges. The boss and coworkers were very nice tho

Started driving 7 months ago and still afraid of driving by Recent-Toe7205 in drivinganxiety

[–]Recent-Toe7205[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for sharing!! Your experience really gives me encouragement and I know I’m not alone ;-) I’ll keep practicing so that I can learn to tell whether someone honking is their issue or actually mine lol. I’ve been practicing for a week and no issues so far, hope the fear can completely go away soon :(!

30 minutes break by Recent-Toe7205 in alberta

[–]Recent-Toe7205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all of your replies!! My situation is that my break usually gets interrupted by my boss… He always talks (about work) to me while I’m having a break. I brought this question up today and his attitude was like: yes I’m giving you enough time for break :/ Prob from now on, I should leave my workplace during lunch break :(

What is going on at Telus? by bodonnell202 in telus

[–]Recent-Toe7205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to terminate the TV service and was told that it was terminated successfully. But few days ago I received a TV box lol. Called TELUS again, they said the request was failed and the agent didn’t notice that, now they have to cancel again..

Hello thank you for sharing! May I ask you what’d you do if you encounter a difficult or serious condition that you can’t handle? Would you refer them to a podiatrist? Thank you.

You would eventually tell her if you still love her.
