Any tips for preparation for this? 🙂

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone might have some advice or be able to point me in the right direction.

I recently graduated from the Practical Nursing program and currently have my temporary LPN permit, so I’m able to start working right away. I’ll be writing for my full license in September.

I completed my practicums at the University of Alberta Hospital on 5A2 and 4G4 (Neurology), where I gained valuable hands-on experience and confirmed that acute care is where I’d love to start my career. I’m very eager to learn, have always had a strong work ethic, and am excited to continue growing as a nurse.

Over the past while, I’ve submitted over 100 applications through both Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Covenant Health, but I haven’t had much luck hearing back. I’ve also been trying to find unit manager email addresses so I can introduce myself directly, but I haven’t had much success finding contact information.

If anyone has any suggestions, knows of units that are hiring, has contact information for unit managers, or has a connection they’d be willing to share, I would be incredibly grateful. Even a direct message with any advice would mean a lot.

Thank you so much—I truly appreciate any help or guidance!
