I've been reading here and there that LPN's working in the O.R. (Saskatoon, Regina. SK) (with the perioperative nursing course from SIAST) are making $30/hr ?? Is that true?? Or is that the max pay scale after xx number of years?? As far as I know.. LPN's are still stuck in the CUPE union in SK, and max out at 25$/hr??
Would be nice to hear a response from an LPN working in the O.R. to confirm. I personally reside in Dauphin, MB right now, working at full-scope(all RN duties are literally the same as LPN in my hospital). I hang blood, do IV insertion/therapy, narcs, central line/PICC management, charge duties, Doctors' rounds.
Only the wage is quite sad at $24.52/hr for my 2nd year of nursing. And with the Manitoba Nurses' Union, we LPN's only max out at 29.05/hr after 6 flippin years' of work... >_
