RN in Saskatchewan

A Comprehensive Guide to Canadian Travel Nursing Requirements

Travel nursing has become a popular career choice for many healthcare professionals in Canada. It offers opportunities for adventure, higher pay rates, and the chance to gain experience in different healthcare settings. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a travel nurse in Canada, it's essential to understand the requirements to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Luckily we are here to share this comprehensive guide to Canadian travel nursing requirements.

Nursing License

To work as a travel nurse in Canada, you must hold a valid nursing license. The specific type of license required depends on the province or territory in which you plan to work. Each province or territory has its own regulatory body for nursing, and you must meet their licensing requirements. Typically, you must have completed an accredited nursing program, passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), and met any additional requirements, such as language proficiency or criminal background checks.

Experience and Skills

Travel nursing positions in Canada typically require a certain level of experience and skills. Employers may require a minimum number of years of nursing experience, and some may prefer candidates with experience in a specific specialty, such as critical care, emergency, or oncology. In addition to experience, having a diverse set of nursing skills, such as IV insertion, wound care, and medication administration, may be advantageous as a travel nurse. That’s not to say that you can not get a travel nurse contract without experience, it is just preferred.

Documentation

As a travel nurse in Canada, you will need to provide various documentation to meet the requirements. This includes your nursing license, professional certifications, immunization records, a vulnerable sector criminal background check, references, and proof of education and training. Additional documentation may be required as requested by your employer or regulatory body.

Work Permit/Visa

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you will need a work permit or visa to work as a travel nurse in Canada. The specific type of permit or visa required depends on your country of origin and the length of your intended stay. You will need to obtain the necessary permit or visa before starting your travel nursing assignment in Canada. It's important to understand the requirements and process for obtaining a work permit or visa, as it can vary depending on your situation.

Professional Liability Insurance

As a travel nurse in Canada, you will be required to have professional liability insurance, also known as malpractice insurance. This insurance provides coverage in case of any legal claims or lawsuits related to your nursing practice. It's important to understand the requirements for professional liability insurance and ensure that you have adequate coverage before starting your travel nursing assignment. The Hero Care HR department can assist in answering any questions you may have surrounding PLP insurance, as where to obtain also varies province to province

Flexibility and Adaptability

Lastly, travel nursing requires a high level of flexibility and adaptability. You will be working in different healthcare settings, with different policies, procedures, and patient populations. Being able to adapt to new environments, work with different teams, and quickly learn and apply new information is essential for success as a travel nurse in Canada.

It's important to research and understand the specific requirements of the province or territory where you plan to work and ensure that you are prepared to meet them. With the right qualifications and preparation, travel nursing in Canada can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

Future-Proofing Your Healthcare Organization Against Nursing Staffing Shortages

Working in the Northern Canada as a nurse is an excellent opportunity to explore this vast and beautiful part of our country.

What is a travel nurse?

A travel nurse is a healthcare professional who works in a temporary position, carrying out short- and medium-term assignments that require travel. Travel nurses work in hospitals, clinics and other institutions that are faced with unfilled vacancies and patients in need of care.

Assignments are for periods ranging from two to twenty-four weeks, depending on the needs of the area’s hospitals and clinics. Travel nurses are becoming increasingly popular in the medical industry as there are many unfilled positions to be filled, especially in remote areas.

What does it take to be a travel nurse?

The ideal travel nurse is someone who values freedom, autonomy and working in new places. Someone who likes to meet new people and adapt to different working environments, but also working with people from different educational backgrounds and from different professional sectors.

If you like to get out of your comfort zone and are not afraid to go on adventures, becoming a travelling nurse might be for you. And since you will have freedom to create your own schedule, travel nursing is ideal for those who value their free time!

If you like to get out of your comfort zone and are not afraid to go on adventures, becoming a traveling nurse might be for you.

• Be proficient in English and/or French (Quebec)

Find an agency that is right for you

• Who does their recruiting—specifically recruiters with experience in travel nursing assignments overseas and/or within Canada?

The travel nurse career is an incredible opportunity for those who want to make a difference in other people’s lives. Travel nursing can be a challenging, rewarding and exciting career path that will allow you to see what Canada has to offer while also helping those who need it most.

Creating a space for nurses to thrive.

Northern Medical Connections is a preferred Canadian travel nurse agency, proudly based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our mission is to connect nurses to job opportunities across Canada where they feel valued, supported & safe.

Started by Nurses. For Nurses.

Northern Med is a very different kind of agency. Unlike most travel nurse agencies, Northern Med was founded by an RN who has over 10 years experience working as a travel nurse across Canada - our founder Matthew Jurcina. Matthew loved being a travel nurse, but after years in the industry he knew there had to be a better way; dreaming of an agency that vetted placements in-person before sending in new nurses, where staff could support you both clinically & administratively, and where quality patient-care & work-life balance were the top two priorities. ‍‍ So, in between shifts and placements Matthew started building Northern Med - eventually bringing together a dream team of staff; nurses to help with the clinical perspective, experts in healthcare administration to work with health authorities across the country, and HR pros to handle the high volume of placements and staff. The result has been Northern Med becoming one of Canada's topnotch Travel Nursing Agencies, recruiting healthcare professionals who are falling in love with nursing again!

A team you can trust.

Community you can stand with.

If you're on your own, moving to a different community & starting a new job placement, the change can be daunting... That's why community makes all of the difference. Northern Med not only commits to finding you ideal placements - we'll also ensure you feel supported, cared for, & a part of something bigger while you're there!

We care about patient care.

Northern Med truly cares about seeing our nurses deliver exemplary patient care . It is a top priority for our agency. We believe the best way to guarantee strong health outcomes is to take incredible care of our nurses so that they can take incredible care of their patients.

Balance isn't just a pretty idea.

When a company tells you they value a healthy work-life balance , do they really mean it? Most often you're still left feeling guilty for requesting vacation, expressing your needs, or doing anything other than showing up for work. Well, we're done with that. Time to take back control of your life AND your career. Northern Med is here to help.

We bring everything to the table.

Our dream team is made of up an incredibly diverse and balanced group of people - with mixed professional backgrounds in nursing, human resources, business administration, and healthcare management.

Matthew Jurcina, RN

Founder & ceo.

Our founder, Matthew began his career as an RN after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from St-Francis Xavier/Cape Breton University. Matthew built up experience in many different nursing specialities including ICU, Emerg, Family Practice, Occupational Health, & Community Nursing in Indigenous communities. All this experience eventually lead Matthew into travel nursing across Canada, where he started dreaming of building an ideal travel nursing agency that advocated for both quality patient-care and a strong work-life balance for it's nurses.

Since founding Northern Med, Matthew has become an advocate for health, wellness, and balance - specifically in the nursing field. He is a proud husband and father of two boys. He loves all things hockey and will gladly join you on the ice for a quick game of shinny!

Jenn Wadden, MBA

Chief operating officer.

With a Masters of Business Admin from U of A, an Executive Healthcare Leadership Cert from Cornell University, and nearly a decade of experience in healthcare management, Jenn brings so much to the table as Northern Med’s COO.  

Jenn's extensive experience in hospital operations, recruitment, and people management, gives her the unique ability to step into the shoes of our partnering health authorities – helping us to facilitate healthy and long-lasting relationships between our nurses, healthcare administrations, and the communities we serve.

Jenn is a proud Nova Scotian, wife, and mom of two girls. She is an active volunteer, avid traveller, and lover of live music and dancing.

Rebecca Coffey

Human resources manager.

Joining us after an impressive post in the hospitality industry, providing HR leadership to top restaurant groups in Halifax, we're so excited to have Rebecca as our Human Resources Manager.

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Saint Mary’s University and an HR Cert, Rebecca has all the chops needed to continually knock this role out of the park.

When Rebecca is not snuggled up with a good book, she also enjoys getting out to an amazing spin class, or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. With a passion for organization, learning, and community building, Rebecca is a perfect fit for Northern Med!

Julie McCloskey, RN, BN

Health services manager.

With a Bachelor of Nursing Degree from UNB, Julie joins Northern Med with nearly 15 years experience working as an RN - with many of those years spent working as a community health nurse in Nunavut.

Drawing from her experience as an Emergency Dept Nurse, Julie is always up for a challenge and ready to learn and grow while working through any situation.

When she's not kicking butt at Northern Med, Julie is exploring the great outdoors - hiking, backcountry camping, and traveling to new destinations.

Ariel Gavin, RN, BN

Operations manager.

Coming from a diverse RN background, floating to many different specialties over the last decade - including Burns/Plastics, ER, ICU, PACU, Med/Surg, L&D and Mental Health - Ariel is ready to handle anything that's thrown at her!

While Nova Scotia has always been her home, Ariel has experience working as a travel nurse in Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, and the Yukon - giving her the unique insights and first-hand experience needed to tackle the job of being Northern Med's Operations Manager.

Ariel is a wife, mom of one very special girl, and an artist. She's also a sucker for live music, getting out in nature, and always game for an adventure!

Jordan Lang

Marketing manager.

Jordan is extremely passionate about making a positive impact in the communities she works with. This makes her a perfect fit as our Marketing Manager, working alongside Northern Med's exceptional nurses, who aspire to achieve the same unified goal.

With a Bachelor of Social Sciences from uOttawa, and having worked in the federal government housing sector to find creative solutions in areas of affordable housing, risk management, and business optimization - Jordan has been able to transfer those skills to Northern Med.

Jordan is a proud feminist, wife, and mother of two boys. She enjoys living a healthy, active lifestyle and getting outside with her family hiking, cycling, and exploring Nova Scotia’s many beautiful beaches.

Don't burn out. Burn bright.
