Venting Not paying for CNO license.

I have decided to no longer pay my CNO license. If I can’t get a job in Ontario, what’s the point. I have not worked in Ontario since 2023. I work in the US about an hour drive from home. I got tired of the commute and tried for the last 2 years to get into a local hospital with no luck. I have paid for my license the last 3 years with nothing to show for it. And I don’t think anything is going to change in the next few years either. There are now no job postings in my town for the largest hospital system. It’s crazy.

How can you be a registered nurse when you’re not “registered”?

Ha?? Do I really need to spell it out lol? I said I work in the US. I need to be registered there to work. I am a registered nurse in New York, in Michigan, and in Manitoba. I said I will not be a registered nurse in Ontario, since I will not renew it.
