Hello Calgary LPNs!!


Hi everyone! I'm currently an LPN student in Edmonton, AB. I believe I will be moving to Calgary next year when I'm done school. I really am not that familiar with Calgary and was wondering if anyone could help me out with info about Calgary hospitals and clinics, and what the LPN job opportunities and wages are like down there. Thanks, your help is much appreciated!

Default Re: Hello Calgary LPNs!!
Wages in unionized facilities will be the same in Calgary as in Edmonton due to the contracts.

Check out the CLPNA website. It has job posting for all areas of the province listed. Clinics usually pay less because they are non-union workplaces.

Some LTCs have been offering signing bonuses and advertising over $25/hour. They are private facilities and customer service is emphasized not nursing skills.
