Internationally Educated Nurses

Were you educated as a Registered Nurse in a country outside of Canada?
Are you interested in working and living in New Brunswick?

We want you to join the team as a Patient Care Attendant (PCA) and we will support you in becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) here in New Brunswick.

We are actively recruiting Internationally Educated Nurses to join our team in New Brunswick, Canada.

You could have the security of a job and the chance to get familiar with Horizon while completing your requirements to register with the Nurses Association of New Brunswick (NANB) as a Registered Nurse.

As a Patient Care Attendant, you will play a supportive role to the health care delivery team. You will primarily be responsible for taking care of a patient’s basic needs – an important part of providing exceptional care.

Then as an RN, you will be critical in Horizon’s ability to provide exceptional care. With a team of over 4,000 RNs, you will work directly with physicians and other health care professionals to assess patients, create care plans, provide treatment, and monitor patient recovery and progress.

ChristineHorizon’s Miramichi Regional Hospital
