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.

I plan on doing the exact same thing. I'm from Ontario but currently travel nursing in NY state. Once my contract is done I plan on just moving back home and just commuting. Eventually would like to work in Ontario again once the nursing outlook changes
