My objective is to obtain casual employment within your facility to broaden my experience as a long term care facility RN, I recently applied and successfully obtained my Ontario nursing license. I am hoping to obtain casual employment for the time being, that may eventually lead to a permanent posting. I work a consistence schedule at my current job- which allows me to plan ahead generally by 2 months in advance. I currently have my schedule until August and due to working 12 hour shifts, I have stretches of 7 days off that I would enjoy working else where to have a change in pace.
