Ontario Canada - RN Long Term Care - $36.86/hr - RN Hospital - $26-40/hr (experience+) I used to work in hospital - had two kids - went into long term care - make much more now.

In Ontario Canada. RN nurse manager position. $36.96/hr. Nursing Home. What are some of your rates of pay? I was just curious. I KNOW there are already a lot of OLD threads regarding this. Here's a new one.
