Grow your career

British Columbia’s publicly funded health-care system has many job opportunities for registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and licensed practical nurses in a variety of practice settings. Nurses can choose where they want to work and whether they want to work full-time or part-time. In B.C., nurses can build a career that fits their goals.
