Can anyone provide a website to illustrate the wages for an RN in Manitoba? Thanks!

I just wanted to add that the link provided from the Manitoba Nursing Union only shows LPN's with various levels of nursing. I'm looking for RN's salary - is there anything data out there? Thanks

Thanks. I was hoping to find the increments in wage, particularly in Manitoba, but there is nothing that illustrates this.

Where do you guys purchase your scrubs from? I can't find any places online that are suitable for men. I prefer scrubs which material is similar to ones you would wear in the O.R. Thanks!

Does anyone know where you can purchase scrubs which are worn on the tv show "house"? I like the style and colour (particularly the different striped colour down the neck) Thanks

Do many hospitals in Australia offer 12 hour shifts? If so, which state are you from, which hospital do you work at, and department do you work in? I'm from Canada and 12 hours are typical. I don't think I could do 8 hour shifts after going to 12 ho...

Thanks everyone for the extra bit of information. I'm going to have to decide where I would like to head too next :)

Leaving because I have no family here and limited things to do. I came for one reason - to pay of my school loans. The pay is the highest in the nation, but money is not the reason to keep me. Cost of living is expensive. When there is nothing to do,...

Thank you very much for help. The chart really summed everything up for me. Can you elaborate on "huge user fees and deregulation costs that are passed on to the individual"? Is the rental vacancy really that low? I have a friend living in a high ri...

Thank you! I have some reading to do. If anyone else can provide additional information, please do so! I'm hoping to find a reputable agency as well.

I understand this could also be in the Australia forum, but I hope to grab the attention of Canadians. If you worked there, did you sign on with an agency? If so, which one? Any recommended hospitals to work in? I would like to work emerg if possible...

In a previous thread I was linked to several sites to help me interupt EKG's. The links were helpful, except I am still having difficulties understanding Axis and Amplitude when reading the material. I simply don't grasp the concept and it's purpose ...
