Nurses: Did Macewan not having CASN accreditation affect you getting a nursing job outside Alberta?

Hi all!

I graduated this past april and am hoping to apply again to nursing at macewan (I don't have the prereqs for the uofa after degree, so I wouldn't save a significant amount of time trying to fulfil them).

As a result, I was wondering if the chances of getting a job outside of Alberta (especially not in a rural setting) would be hurt by Macewan's lack of CASN accreditation? I'm scared to dedicate another four years to a program that might not be that useful. I'm especially nervous because I know getting hired by AHS in Edmonton is extremely difficult nowadays, so I'm trying to prepare myself for the high chance that I will have to move.

Thank you SO much!!

Seeking guidance in job finding. Thank you

Hello AHS employees, i am in serious need of help. i am RN licensed in Alberta actively looking for RN job in Edmonton and outside Edmonton city periphery towns and rural communities. Ive formatted my resume as per my clinical experience , i have my bachelors from back home country i worked for 3 years at small 25 bedded secondary care hospital back home, in emergency room as well as med surge bedside. Currently i am on study permit status in alberta. I applied to numerous ahs rn position openings but all i received in reply is another candidate is selected.

Can anyone guide me on how to step in AHS for casual/part time/night/weekends or any RN position that is offered to me, i am prepared to work hard and meet standards of care here as quickly as possible.

Thank you all of you.
