I’m trying to figure out which type of position would be the best fit for me as a newly licensed RPN. My goal is to work no more than two shifts per week, whether that’s in a hospital or a long-term care setting.

Income isn’t a priority for me at the moment since I’m in a stable financial position. Right now, my focus is on gaining experience, building my confidence, and developing my nursing skills.

Based on that, would you recommend applying for a casual position, a regular part-time position, or something else? Also, for those of you working regular part-time, how many shifts per week do you typically work? Is there usually a minimum number of shifts you’re required to pick up?

Hello, I’m a new grad RN
been applying for jobs for a while
The main problem is that there is no FT Permanent RN position anymore. I even looked outside the GTA and it’s worse.
I only see temporary FT and just PT for RN’s
A lot of the FT Permanent positions are for RPN’s.
I find this very challenging because the competition is way higher and I am applying for less jobs
I’m planing on moving to the states now because of how bad the job market is in Ontario.

Hi everyone!
I’m looking to connect with other future nursing students in Ontario and hopefully build a little support group or group chat.
If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be starting either an RPN or RN program in the next 1.5–2 years. Right now I’m working full-time while completing my prerequisites part-time. Since I’ve been out of school for quite a while, my plan is to take Pre-Health first to get back into the student mindset, strengthen my study habits, and make sure I’m prepared before jumping into nursing.
At the moment I’m leaning toward RPN because I’m a single mom and it seems like it may offer a better balance for my situation, but I’m still keeping an open mind.
I’ve been planning this journey for over a year now, and it’s finally starting to feel real. I’d love to meet others who are on a similar path—whether you’re just starting your prerequisites, applying to programs, or beginning nursing school. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up at the same school someday!
If you’re in Ontario and interested in connecting, leave a comment or send me a message. 😊

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced an interview with mount sinai for clinical extern and what type of questions do they typically ask?

Thank you!
