For some reason I cant find any salary info for RPN's in Ontario.....does anyone know? I know the RN grid, and would like to compare it to RPN.

Thanks!

I don't think RPN pay is as regulated as RN. I was told that at hospitals the pay for RPN is aroun $18-$21/hr; but if you work outside a hospital the pay varies widely. You could try checking out job postings maybe to get the information.

salary ranges

The rate varies depending on the hospital, but there are some up to $24.00 an hour at the top rate.

I work in a long term care facility in Toronto. A fresh new RPN makes about $18 an hour, but I hear hospitals pay better than long term care facilities.
