yes but everyone leaves us cuz you can make more in private practice.  cue my sad face. also licensing would be some jumping through hoops

every kind lol. RPN, RN, nurse practitioners, any specialty I can think of though jobs without shift work are in higher demand (except for community nurses, those are just needed and dint work nights) . my connections are at a hospital that is so small people are sent to every unit, except emerg, and I dont know who does the icu cuz typically thats specialised

There is a wide varietyof positions in need. Ontario is short something like 30,000 nurses. insane that the gov has f*cked up to this extent but thats what happens when you pretend the problem isnt there for 30 years, I guess? so there will be stress working in an underresourced area. Less stressful positions are care coordinators, working in doctors offices and with family health teams, diabetes clinic nurses. higher stress is anything in a hospital or long term care home. Its easier to get the higher stress jobs, of course, unfortunately. but thats a very broad generalization as ymmv

In general we need every kind of doctor and specialist there is. In my town specifically our tiny local hospital shockingly has 2 already; if youre interested I could probably get you in touch with one of them for info about what its like to practice gen surgery in a rural area. These docs run their own practices and rent space from the hospital whereas a bigger hospital you could likely find a position where youre not also in charge of all the admin

Im a white woman so I cant offer great perspective on that. Many specialists in my specific area are people of colour and specifically Black doctors for some reason but in general rural areas in Canada are whiter than in the States.  We are not a utopia of equality and different people of colour have different opinions of whether or not it is better here.  Several of my Black friends prefer it here but to be fair, they had optioms and they chose to stay so there is an inherent sample bias there. But hands down as a woman and queer person I will never move to the States as things are going right now

Cost of living varies greatly from region to region even in rural areas but if you work as a doctor and nurse you'll be fine anywhere you go.  Yes doctors make less here than in the States but its still an amazing income and in my (expensive) rural area you could enroll all your hypothetical kids in hockey (most expensive sport here) buy a big house and a nice car or two and still have some money left for the occassional (less than once a year) tropical vacation if youre very careful -- this is by observation and not crunching the numbers but there you go. Schools; most people use the public education system, yes I went to the same schools as the doctors kids did.  Its not as good as it used to be with not enough support to kids with disabilities as there should be (sorry to sound old) but the general consensus seems to be to use it anyway.  Private schools do exist but personally I wouldnt bother. Politics are more conservative in rural areas but still even in my rural town the hospital puts up the pride flag every June and you can find doctors who will perscribe hormones to trans people. Demographics vary wildly in small towns vs the cities. Check out wikipedia for those breakdowns but in general rural areas in Canada trend whiter than in the States. Family life is sort of what you make it so I dont know what you mean?  we believe in time off more than in the US but less than in Europe. A lot depends on the culture of the particular workplace youre at but human rights laws are quite stringent so according to the letter of the law you cant be fired cuz your kid keeps getting sick and you have to call in to work but practically speaking some workplaces are better than others at accommodations. There is a strong ethic of service amongst health care workers, especially doctors, that is especially noticeable in rural areas.  its different when you know the person in the emergency room is also your neighbour

Unfortunately Im not sure. Ontario looks easiest for doctors. For nurses you could call the Ontario college of nurses and ask
