  1. I'm an asian LVN nurse who trained in US. I'm thinking about working in Canada to experience as nurse. If I go to Canada and take exam,I have to take language test since my first language is not English even thogh I trained in US and worked here? Does anybody know how much Nurses (both LVN and RN) in Canada make money? Any information is appriciated. Thank you.

    Hello,

    I'm not sure that I have the exact answer to your question, but I can definitely guide you in the right direction. You may find answers to your questions on the College or Nurses of Ontario website - www.cno.org or you can try the Registered Nursing Association of Ontario website - www.rnao.org
    As far as pay goes, RPN make just over $20.00 an hour and RN's make just over $30.00. Also if you are going to practice as an RN you must complete a four year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree (BScN) from an accredited university.

    Hope this helps!

    Money depends on where you work. Top of the pay scale in Ontario for RPNs is $25+ and the top pay for RNs is $36+. A LTC facility near me just advertised for RPNs starting at $23+. You will need your Bsn for licensure in Ontario.

    RNs must have at least their degree. I don't know how the LVN would compare up here. In Ontario you may be able to work as an RPN. Contact the College of Nurses for the province you want to work in and they should be able to tell you what to do. Best of luck.
