Hi everyone;

My name is Steve and I am a registered nurse in Ontario. I am considering moving to Iqaluit for work and I was hoping to contact a nurse or nurses who are working in the Qikiqtani General Hospital so I can ask some questions about work life there. If there are any nurses reading this forum or someone could pass this along, I can be reached through this forum or through my email: beattyrn@hotmail.com

Thanks very much!

Steve.

hi steve. i'm just a housekeeper there but here's some info.Iqaluit is expensive to live in permanently.on the other hand i understand temp nurses make a bundle here.i'll direct the attention of some of the nurses i know to this topic.
in my opinion everyone here is very nice though a bit stressed sometimes.the hospital is beautiful,though i'm biased as i helped put it together in the final phases.i'm sure you'll hear many various opinions about this neck of the woods,but it's pretty much the same idiot to normal ratio as anywhere else.check back as i'll definitely ask a nurse to give this post a looksee.mark

I would also greatly appreciate having this information. I'm also a nurse strongly considering making the move up to Iqaluit.
