Omg! We need more Canadian travel nurse content creators. Thanks for the info. I started travelling last year and don’t regret so far
Yes we do
Thank you! Been inconsistent but trying to figure out a schedule. Thanks for the support 🫶🏽
@@thenursesage I totally understand! It’s tough out here
Hey Sage thanks for sharing I’m a LPN in Alberta for over 12 years but now I want to do travel nursing for a change. We need more content like this for Canadian LPNs/ RPNs ❤️✅
Thank you! Let me know if there’s anything you would like to know I can make a new video ❤️
Nice to see other Canadian nurses on youtube
It is! Thank you for the support 💛
I haven’t been able to find many videos about travel nursing within Canada so thank you for this! It was really helpful
Thank you for watching, happy to help 💛
Great video! Thank you. I am currently working as a care aide
Thank you, that’s amazing are you travelling as a care aide?
Please make more videos and cover more about travel nursing by giving first hand experience. While u are working at ur location
I'm starting nursing school to be a RN in the fall. My goal after gaining experience is to become a travel nurse ❤
Congrats! Definitely learn as much as you can 💛🎉
Hi Sage, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a practical nursing student in AB and I am almost done school. I am interested in travel nurse but I didn’t where to start so finding you was a blast for me 🤗.
Hey, congrats! That’s amazing, happy I can help 💛 ☺️
Superhost with Airbnb , peaceful family set-up, one bedroom with use of kitchen, and living room!
Don’t give up if this your passion you are gonna make it Nursing school is hard make small breaks for yourself ❤️❤️❤️😊
I appreciate the encouragement
Thank you for sharing this knowledge Sage. You look calm and honest ❤️
Thank you! 💛
Very useful information, thank you so much. I am traveling for my first assignment next week, hoping the facility will not be that bad. Licensed in Alberta. 🤩🤩
Congrats! I hope it goes well ☺️
As a nurse licensed in Alberta, can you work in other provinces? Do u need to be licensed in the other provinces as well? Also, I see you are a Nigerian, did you have a nursing experience prior to applying to study nursing in Canada?
I’m an RPN also went to Centennial! This video was really helpful thanks for all the info! ❤️
You’re welcome!
This was so so helpful Sage and you are stunning gurl.....
Thank you🤍
Thank you 💗🫶🏽
Great info keep up the great work on this channel
Soo helpful! Thanks for the informative video!
You’re welcome!! Let me know if you have more questions 💛
Ive always wondered about travel nursing but im very anxious about after working in LTC for over 5 years, I feel some skills are not used and worry I wont be able to perform well. Does the company provide training if thats the case?
Hey Kiki, travel nursing has very minimal training however 5 years is still valid experience! For my experience if I haven’t done something before there’s usually resources in place or I just ask.
Check out 911 Nurses GTA!
They hire RN and RPN/LPN throughout Canada for the BEST rates. Rate now hiring in NB, NFL, ON and NS!
I’ve heard of them before just never looked into it. Thank you!
HII I WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK TO BE A TRAVEL NURSE AND WHAT U STUDIED AND WHATS YOUR AGE
Thank you for the break down! So helpful 💕
No problem 💛
Lovely to see this, wondering if you have any insights on scope of practice as an agency nurse. I’ve practiced as an LPN all over BC & Alberta but limits on scope in BC motivated me to leave, would love to hear how are you navigating this? Great channel- Thanks!
Hi Jess, the scope of practice is different I’ve only done LTC in BC. The major difference I noticed was the 2nd checks for insulin and giving narcotics (in some places for the narcotics). Also most places I have been will send a resident out if they need any IV including fluids.
How many years of experience did you have prior to doing travel nursing? Would you recommend doing travel nursing right after graduating? How many days of orientation do the facilities usually provide? Thank you.
I had 2.5 years experience prior to travelling. For new grads I wouldn’t because you usually only get 1 day orientation. You should try to get enough experience to be confident on your own first.
Great information, thank you! Curious how dating works if traveling so often? Possible for couples to share the traveling together if one works remotely?
Thanks for watching! Yea I guess that would be between the couple to figure it out but I’ve met a lot of nurses in relationships Travel nursing. Some married, some with kids. Some couples travel together. They would just have to pay the fare to the assignment and if any additional accommodation fees.
In Mississauga Ontario
I am a Registered Nurse in Jamaica with my Bachelor's degree how can I get a recruiter to help me here in Jamaica to come to CANADA and do travel nursing
Hey, you can email staffing from any of the agencies I mentioned (usually the email is on the site). I’m not sure what the process is but you can ask them if they can assist you in the process. Hope this helps!
Makeup hair nails You did that !!!!
Thank you ☺️
Sweet 😊
Thanks for the information. Do you have an idea which agancey has more assignments in Alberta ? Thanks for your answer.
Hey, I know Solutions and McCare has Alberta contracts!
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹new subbie please make more vids for us like a day in the life as a travel nurse or what is your favorite unit to work on and how to study in nursing school 🤍🤍🤍
Welcome!! 🇹🇹🇹🇹 Thank you for the support and encouragement! New videos coming soon 😉💛💛
Hi Sage. Do you get cellular coverage for doing travel nursing? Or is the wifi provided for board and lodging?
Hi Krystal, I’ve had wifi in all the places I’ve been so far. Including the smallest place with about 5000 people.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing not a lot of people talk about their experience traveling within Canada as an LPN/RPN. So it's nice to finally see a video! I went to Seneca. I worked with gifted hands at a LTC in Sudbury for 11 months and return in August of this year. I am considering Travelling again with another agency. I'm thinking B.C or Alberta I am concerned about racism though have you experienced any? and what type of facility do you work at?
Hi Angela! Thank you, I appreciate the support 💛 how was Sudbury? Glad you asked; It was one of my concerns as well because Toronto is very diverse compared to everywhere I’ve been in Canada. I have experienced racist comments a couple times. Blatant ignorant comments about black people twice. But for the most part people are respectful. I also made some friends a few places so I didn’t let it stop me. Of course it’s different when people are starting at you but stare back. I guess I’m saying don’t let ignorant people stop you from trying it out. Let me know if you have more questions definitely email/dm me 🙂
For like example if you were a single mom or you wanted to bring like your husband with you during your contract. Do they pay for them as well or any accommodations with that.
Hi Chris, so far with the companies I have worked with you pay for your partner/child’s travel on your own and the company will cover accommodation. You just have to let them know.
Hey Sage, thank you so much for an insightful experience as a travel nurse. I wanted to learn what’s the life like and most importantly what are the accommodations like for Canadian nurses. I wanted offer my accommodations and would love to share my space with other travel nurse like you.
Would you share company email for solutions and goodwill that are responsible for accommodations? That way I can share my spaces.
Thanks, I’ll also send an email to you as well ❤️
Thank you for watching! I will reply to your email shortly. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I am actually studying the RPN program at centennial college and I was thinking to start working as a travel nurse right after graduation before moving on to be an rn. I was just wondering about the licensing. So do u have to get a license for each province. I think I saw something where you can get a Canadian license to practice in all provinces. Have you heard of this. Is this a thing lol? Also for accommodations do they ask if you have a partner or family? Cause I was consider my partner to move with me also. Thank you for this video and sorry for all the questions
Hey Isabella, thanks for watching! I haven’t heard of this kind of licence. All the companies I work with require you to get your licence for each province separately. Yes you let them know ahead of time. Most companies your partner will have to pay for their flight but not extra for the living space. Hope that helped 😊
Hi Sage! This was a great video and you're so well spoken. I wanted to ask since it's possible to book assignments months in advance can you go from assignment to assignment for a whole year so that you don't need your own place to rent? It's just with travel nursing you're going to be gone a lot and it seems like a waste to be paying rent for an empty apartment. How do you manage your at home living situation when you aren't working if you don't mind sharing?
Hi Sam! Thank you so much💛 This is a really good question! I’ve heard so many different stories from other travel nurses. I personal stay at my family home when I’m not travelling. However I’ve met a few nurses that packed their things in storage and travelled. Often either extending their contracts, staying for longer periods of time or just having multiple contracts lined up and staying with family or friends if or when they do need to come home. I hope that helps!

In term of benefit do travel nurse get less compared to the permanent post ?
Yes, most agencies don’t have benefits. Some offer vacation pay
Hey sage, Can you work with two travel agencies at same time? Like if you r working in BC, r u working for both two travel agencies? How do you do tax file, so you need to do tax file in Ontario and BC both, how does that work? How many days of orientation do you get before you start working ?
Hey, I work for multiple agencies never two on one assignment. I work with one at a time. Taxes was easy because I was still an employee with both my agencies. Any independent work I did there is a section for that you can add. Orientation is usually 1 day sometimes 2.
Hi sage I was looking into travel nursing since getting the idea from a colleague. How do you go about getting the license for BC. I am an RPN in Toronto
Hi Sonia, congrats! For my BC license I email BCCNM Registration team form 80 (I believe it’s in the site) with 2 pieces of ID had my license in about a week. Good luck!
Hi Sage, can one pick shifts with an agency as well?
Hi Maridiya, the travel agencies I listed only have full contracts however there are agencies within the province that allow you to pick up shifts. Power I believe is one of them.
Hi Sage, I was hoping if we can connect via email? I’m an RPN in Ontario and I really want to start my travel nurse journey in BC. One of the places I would like to be assigned to is Vancouver island.
Hey Kathleen, I’m happy to answer any questions! Vancouver island was my first assignment. My email is Thenursesage@gmail.com 😊
SAGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE! OMG! We need to talk!
Dajaaaaaaa!! We do! Message me!!
I’m a registered nurse in Nigeria and I want to work in Canada as a Registered Nurse. Please do you know the criteria and requirements
Hi, I’m not sure, I did my nursing school in Ontario. Take a look at some of the nursing programs at schools in the province you’re interested in, they usually have requirements listed. Hope that helps.
You are so beautiful
Thank you! 🫶🏽
I don't have math in 12 grade can I do BSN in Canada?
Hey Sidhu, I have my diploma math was not a requirement at the time. I mainly need biology and Chen gr. 12. I went to Centennial college check out their website to see if they have changed the requirements. 🙂
Sage. Amazing video. Check out 911 Nurses GTA!
Thank you so much, I’ll check it out!
Do u need a license in every province?
Hey, yes you do.
Any stipend for food?
Not for BC with my company
how was your program only two years ?
I did the RPN program at centennial college for my diploma
Hello Sage, thanks for the video. It's nice to see some Canadian content. I want to learn more about the demand for travel nurses in Canada. I will send you an email. Hope that works for you 🙏
Hello Sage, I sent you an email 2 days ago. Just wanted to see if you received it.
Hi Rachel, thanks for watching! Yes we do need more of us on UA-cam. I’ll check for your email 😊
35/hour isn’t too attractive to be honest.
That was a range I gave from what I had seen a year ago. Things have changed since and for some people it’s still almost $10 more an hr than their home pay. Do what works for you.
I have a beautiful room/home for Canadian travel nurses.
HII I WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK TO BE A TRAVEL NURSE AND WHAT U STUDIED AND WHATS YOUR AGE
I am an RPN, it’s a 2 year program, once you have 1-2 years experience of nursing you can apply to be a travel nurse
