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... >_
What is with the constant brow beating from the same people over and over? People come on this site to learn and keep in touch with other nurses yet we are constantly being brow beaten by the same FEW over and over. I am thankful I do NOT have to work with those that have decided to make themselves WARDENS of allnurses.com.
