New graduates in any profession may apply for positions posted on our job board. You must be eligible for or hold active registration with the applicable registering body (i.e., College of Registered Nurses of Alberta, College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta, etc.).

Graduates working in rural locations may qualify for the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program.

Nursing students working as health care aides

If you have finished the first year of a practical nursing program or the second year of a bachelor’s program, you can apply to work as a health care aide.

To work as a health care aide, nursing students must have:

• completed the first year of an LPN diploma program, or the second year of a baccalaureate nursing program
