Nursing Jobs Overview
Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide dedicated care to patients through administering medication and vaccinations, taking blood and other samples for testing, and supporting movement and hygiene during hospital stays, to name just a few responsibilities. Nurses are also crucial to supporting other medical professionals in their work environment such as doctors, surgeons, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists.
This occupation is facing a shortage, so there’s an abundance of nursing jobs available to you. As a nurse, you could work in a variety of settings from hospitals and clinics to schools, military bases, and many more. In addition to where you work, the options for specialization are numerous, including fields such as:
- cardiovascular
- gastroenterology
- rehabilitation
- neuroscience
- psychiatric and mental health
- oncology
- hospice palliative care
This incredibly important career requires empathy, a sincere desire to help people, and the ability to perform under pressure.

For employment in specialist fields and some levels of nursing, you may need to undertake additional training and registration. To be successful in your role you’ll also be expected to show soft skills such as:
- excellent communication
- patience and sensitivity
- attention to detail

Update Your Nursing Resume
Before hitting send on your nursing job applications, make sure your resume is up to date and optimized. Include all your professional qualifications and registrations, as well as specific details of your experience as a nurse. Focus on highlighting the skills that are advertised for in each job ad and demote those that are less relevant.
For help with creating your resume refer to Monster’s resume tips and advice. Your application may also require a cover letter in which you can provide further details about your interest in and suitability for the job. Check out our sample healthcare cover letter to help you get started.
Interviewing for Nursing Jobs
Standing out with your resume is the first step to landing your ideal job as a nurse. Next, you need to conquer the interview stage, which we admit can be nerve-wracking. Remember that your skills as a nurse are highly sought after, and the interview is also your chance to find out if the role is the right fit for you. Furthermore, the best thing you can do to feel calm and more relaxed for your interview is to prepare thoroughly. Practice answering some of the common nursing interview questions and use our other interview tips to help you get ready.
How Much Do Nurses Get Paid?
It’s important to understand what your skills are worth and what you can expect to earn. Nurse salaries differ slightly depending on the province you work in. For example, a registered nurse in British Columbia earns an average wage of $26.88 per hour, while in the same job in Nunavut makes around $24.38 per hour.
Nursing assistants, directors of nursing, and nursing managers can all expect to see a variation in their earning due to the level of responsibility.
