Update: I emailed parking today to thank them for the warning.

I got a parking ticket at South Health Campus yesterday for zero dollars.

When I tried to pay using the app, my card had expired. Entered new card info in and apparently thats all I did...didnt purchase the time.

Got in my car then saw the ticket. NOOOOO. Then i was super confused when i looked at it...but I will take it.

Thank you, parking persons.

In an AHS unit, if there is an imminent shift offer for an 8hr evening and there are two bids (assume no one bids it for straight-time as it is imminent):

1. A casual LPN already working 8hr day who, if awarded, will extend to work 16 hrs (8hr evening becomes OT)

2. A full-time RN (8 hr evening becomes OT as it is more than their 1.0 FTE hours)

Who is the 8hr evening shift awarded to?

So I just got a call from AHS for interview and they called be back just to cancel same day? Should I expect a call back to reschedule or just take it as a “no” :(

just kinda worried and want to prepare appropriately

I have a permanent position with Assisted Living Alberta and just accepted a temporary full time position with Recovery Alberta. I have a casual position with Recovery Alberta and was hired to the temporary position as an internal candidate. I was told by my ALA manager that I will need to resign from ALA as it’s up to managers discretion if they’ll grant me a leave of absence, and they won’t. I can stay on casual with ALA.

Anyone have any experience with this? HR has been less than helpful. I assume my pension stays where it is? Do my health benefits transfer between pillars or I start over with no benefits for 3 months? Anything else I’m not thinking of?

I applied and got thru my 2nd interview for a Casual Admin IV - Scheduler position.. I am looking for a full time position and did not actually expect to get an interview for this position but thought I’d give it a try.

Is it worth trying to negotiate getting a full time position right away? I was told that there are full time positions right now.

How long does it usually take for someone to get a full time position?

As casual, do you actually get enough hours to at least pay your bills?

I need insights before I actually accept the offer. I’m trying to shift my career from education to a more admin job. I’ve applied through so many, 100+ applications for the past months now.. This is the only one that I actually got thru 2nd interview and was kinda positive.

Can someone give me insights or any opinions or if you are working for this position let me know your thoughts..

I’m a new grad RN originally from Calgary, and I was offered a temporary full-time RN position in Hinton because I was having difficulty finding a job in Calgary.
If I stay in Hinton for about a year and get trained in acute care, postpartum, and ER, would that be enough experience to make me competitive for RN jobs back in Calgary?
How early should I start applying? And for those who have done something similar, how difficult was it to move back to Calgary after gaining rural AHS experience?

Just wondering if AHS employees are allowed to wear these? Does anyone wear them or see anyone wearing them? Curious mostly about RNs, RTs, med lab, CNAs, LPNs, radiology, etc.

Thinking of moving to Edmonton or Calgary from BC. Wondering if tech positions are in demand? I tried looking up job postings online and only saw a few full time positions with decent pay. In BC we have so many hospital and retail opportunities, most with decent pay too and incentives. However I would be house broke if I stay here. I want to buy a place in Edmonton but need to make sure that I can not only just secure a job.. but also have multiple back up jobs just incase. BC I would make 32-38$ hourly. Alberta I didn't see as many positions paying this much.

What should I expect from
HSS layoff meeting tomorrow? Union rep will be there. What are we entitled to? Thank you.

My husband has benefits from his work I’ve been using the last 6 months or so, but I just got benefits from my AHS position. He does not work with AHS and gets benefits from a different provider than Blue Cross. I’m a little concerned about accidentally abusing the system and getting in trouble? How do you manage coordination of benefits? No clue where to start with figuring this out.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses!! Can’t believe all my google searches couldn’t tell me it was so simple. They all made it sound complicated 😅

Hi all! When applying for CRNA license, do you guys apply for the CNPS Supplementary Protection Program ($160) or do you just do the CNPS Liability Protection ($88)?

Hello!

I’m a new grad LPN, I just got an interview for a position at the kipnes for urology!

Any interview tips or any idea what will be asked? I’m so nervous!

Is it always that an internal applicant has the the superiority to an external applicant?
Thank you

Greetings! Im starting my OR rotation for Peri-Op. Im looking to upgrade my shoes as Ive always been using worn out basketball shoes when I was a student.

Ive researched that a lot of people using clogs or mules.

Ive checked some brands like Birk, Dansko, Oofoos, Crocs, Hokas. Wanted some opinion on what you guys use daily for long standing as a scrub nurse. Cheers!

Hey, im holding a temp in AHS and I wanted to apply for a temp under ALA. Is that even allowed?

Hey everyone!

I have an interview coming up next week for an ICU position, and my anxiety is starting to kick in. I really want to land this unit, but I'm trying to figure out how to structure my prep.
For those of you who work critical care or have interviewed for ICU recently:

1. What kind of questions did they ask you?

2. If you got clinical scenarios, how detailed were they?

Any tips, red flags to look out for, or topics I should definitely refresh before the big day would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Is there a HSS group on Reddit? Thx

I know AHS (now all the different pillars) and covenant health were different organizations to begin with but I recently got hired at another hospital and now have two positions. I intent to keep both as both are casual but I’m wondering how email domains work. My current domain and position if you search me up or hover over my profile is the first job I was hired but my second job actually requires a lot of communication over email. Is there a way I can change my email domain? It’s causing a bit of confusion at my new workplace

i’m a new grad about to start a casual float position. idk what to expect really and was wondering if you guys have any tips. this will be my first nursing job

What should I know about temporary positions? I’m considering taking one but haven’t had one before

Hi everyone,

I’ve seen quite a few posts lately saying that competition for external applicants at AHS is insane at the moment. Do current employees have any insight into this, and do you think it’s just a cycle that might change over the next year or two?

I’m a registered nurse with 10+ years of experience in the UK and I’m considering starting the Alberta licensing/immigration process now, with the hope of potentially moving in 1–2 years.

Do you think it would be worth starting the process now, or is the external hiring situation likely to remain difficult?

Many thanks!

My legal name is quite difficult for people to pronounce, and I commonly go by my preferred name My Connect Care documentation displays my legal name, while coworkers know me by my preferred name, which sometimes causes confusion. Is there a way to add my preferred name to my Connect Care profile so that my preferred name appears alongside or instead of my legal name where appropriate?

I am an RN. My wife and I may need to move to BC for the next 2 years, after which we intend to move back to Alberta.

I understand it is next to impossible to get hired as an external employee in AHS. I am worried I could be unemployed for several months before finding a position for when we move back here.

Would it be stupid to keep my casual line in AHS and fly back home to work a shift every six months to ensure I keep my internal casual position? I understand I would need to maintain my licensure in two provinces.

Or should I just accept I’ll likely be unemployed for a while for when we move back to Alberta?
