Cheerfuldoer, I think Leesonlpn was kidding. The Canadian dollar is currently worth just a little bit less than the US dollar. I believe the exchange rate is $1.50 Canadian dollars for $1 US dollar. That means Leesonlpn makes approximately $15 USD per hour, which I would call a fair wage.

A fair wage for who Zohar...:chuckle?? If I was offered $15/hr I would say..."HUH?? Are you kidding me"?? I think a fair wage is one you can live on, without a second job. And very few places can you live on that alone..:o. But of course I'm spendaholic...so what I would know. I probably will never have enough money...:chuckle! Well ...I told you guys I was greedy..:cool:

kaknurse...thanks for answering my question about what a MDS is. :kiss

For Sue and Zohar....:)

Now...on the note of whether or not I was kidding about the wage thing...I was DEAD serious! :chair: I took her statement very literally! But, thanks for clarifying it for me. :chuckle STILL...$15.00/HOUR is an insult to a professional nurse...no matter what country she works in. :confused:

How right you are, considering where I live if you work for a government office (and you only need your high school diploma for this) you make more than a RPN (LPN).

There is something wrong somewhere!!

I'm confused--I was under the impression that MDS's had to be signed by RN's. When I was in long term care (about 5 years ago) I had to do my own MDS's for my unit as part of my charge position but they had to be either signed or co-signed by an RN to be valid. Has this changed or was is just where I worked.

15$ an hour in some parts of California is like minimum wage. Because of the cost of living here. I started at 9.60 at Children's hospital-LA in 95 needless to say I left in 9 months to find better pay. That is ridiculous there were clerk III's that made more and I had to deal with people's lives everyday! It is really when some RN's were making that too!
