No hospital jobs for new grad nurses? (RPN)
Is anyone else having trouble finding a hospital job in Ontario? I finished school December 2025 and still am unable to land a hospital position. I did a clinical Extern position at a hospital and they’re only prioritizing people who’ve consolidated at their hospital. I did extra certifications like BLS as well. Altered my resume a lot to fit the job posting. Then the NGG positions as well are mainly going to people who have consolidated at a hospital. I did consolidation at LTC and feel like I’m at a loss because of that. Is there anything I could do to put myself in a position to get a hospital job?
(I’ve even been applying to casual PSW positions as a “RPN” at the hospital and didn’t even get a call back😭)
I’ve applied to every single hospital in Ontario even if the posting said 1yr experience required. I’ve applied to hospitals 2 hours away even. I was considering going to BC or NS or anywhere rural but they’re only accepting people with experience. Send help🙏🏾
