Practical nurse pay varies depending on the province you are working in, as does the cost of living. Average deductions from one's pay cheque are about 35%, including income tax, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, personal pension plan, extended health, life and disability insurance, parking, union dues and so on. Out of $42,000 a year, you can expect to take home about $27,000.

You have to remember that your nursing education has to be evaluated and found acceptable to the College of LPNs for the province you are interested in working. So there will be the evaluation fees, the fee to write the CPNRE is $600 and the yearly license is $250 in my province.

So it is not an inexpensensive option.
