You're from Ontario so you need to exchange currency because the majority of us are from the US. I looked it up and US $15-25 is equal to Canadian $22-37.

1.Position held.(RN,LVN/LPN)- RN

2.Years as a nurse.- 2 yrs

3.Area of work.(M/S,ER,LTC,etc.)-dermatology

4.Current hourly wage.- embarassing 13.50/hr (i just gave notice)

This should be interesting. Thanks.

Now work for GI Lab making $16.48/hr Mon-Fri, no holidays. Works for me with a child. Home when he is out of school during the week....I have to get up anyway to get him to school, mind as well get ready and go make some money. Although, 3 12 hour shifts is sounding good tooooooo.

new nurses here start around $21, and top of the paychart after 9 years is about $32... that's still not alot considering that there are alot of jobs out there you can get for about $20 per/h while still in high school...

Wow, $20/hr with no college education. I'm lucky to find anything $10 and up (still in college right now). I once found a job paying $10 but it was only part time.
