RPN's in Toronto Hospitals ?


Hello to everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows which hospitals in the Toronto area hire RPN's? I have gone on several websites and only see employment for RN's, such as the Princess Margaret, Mt Sinai, Toronto General, St. Joseph's, St. Michael's, Toronto Rehab... if any of these do, what areas can the RPN work in within the hospital. The only one I know that for sure hires RN's only is Sick Kids.
Thank you for any information. I'm starting to lose hope
Suzie

Default Re: RPN's in Toronto Hospitals ?
I don't live in Toronto but many of the hospitals downtown are high acuity hospitals which often do not hire RPN's. Other hospitals in the GTA area do hire RPN's in chronic care, rehab, medicine. If you are a new grad you should be able to get 6 - 7 months of full time employment at a hospital. If not, you may need to get some experience in long term care before getting into the hospital. I would also like to add that the hospital websites only post jobs that haven't been filled. Often RPN's are hired at the hospital on a casual basis initially, so I would just go and put in an application where you want to work and keep calling every week. Good luck.
