Check out www.salpn.com for Saskatchewans professional licensing organization for LPN's. Also the union we are under is CUPE www.cupe.sk.ca Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response, I have no idea how to get this thread moved. CARNA & UNA's attitudes have to change. It's sad though it's not just them with the bad attitude, it's everywhere on these forums! The province I work in has it right...there is only a $3.00 difference between RN's/LPN's...A degree Nurse get's a couple dollars more than a diploma Nurse. Alberta is supposedly the richest province...what a JOKE! Plus you have to pay for healthcare! It's time to stick together and fight instead of sitting back letting this crap happen, letting other healthcare professionals treat us like all we did was take some mickey mouse course!

Hi all, I will post my story later, tomorrow I am starting another quit smoking journey! Wish me luck! I just wanted to quickly give you a link to a website www.whyquit.com it is based on the "cold turkey" approach but has tons of information that you can read through! Hope it helps, I find it gives me a good "DOSE" of reality everytime I visit there!

I work in a hospital in Saskatchewan and I am making $24.84 and soon to move up to $25.68 an hour. Shift premium is $1.50/hr and weekend premium is $1.25/hr.

Hello all Alberta LPN's..... I am wondering since your contract is up in March of this year if all you Nurse's plan on fighting for what you deserve.....MORE PAY!! I am a LPN presently working in Saskatchewan & would love to move to Alberta but the slap in the face wages that Alberta LPN's make keeps me here! It's time to stand up for our rights, they keep increasing our scope of practice but don't want to pay any more money...yet the RN's just got an increase to WHAT????? $40.00 an hour!! They can't say we aren't educated...the program is now 2 years in length same as a diploma Nurse...oh wait that's what you get when you graduate A DIPLOMA!! Just a little frustrated...and wondering if any of you fellow Nurses feel the same!!
