Seeking Experienced Candidates - Registered Psychiatric Nurses - Mental Health & Addictions

Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health · Surrey, British Columbia · $84,344 - $107,619 annually

applies via jobs.nshealth.ca

Verdict

Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health are legitimate healthcare organizations with verified websites and active careers sections. However, the posting exhibits a critical geographic mismatch: both employers are headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia and operate only in Maritime provinces, yet this posting claims a Surrey, British Columbia location. This location discrepancy is a strong fraud signal, suggesting either a misposted job or a spoofed posting. The salary range is plausible for registered psychiatric nurses in Canada, and the application directs to an official careers portal, which provides some legitimacy. The combination of verified employer identity against a geographically implausible location places this in the medium-high fraud risk band.
