  1. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    Insomniac-88 replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    My base rate is $25 and change but I get 14% in lieu of benefits which brings me to $29.61. It's the standard rate of pay for the most part where I am. I know of 4 surrounding hospitals that pay the...

  2. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    Insomniac-88 replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    I'm an RPN in Ontario. Graduated in the winter of 2011 and had a few job offers a couple of months later in February of 2012. Passed my CPNRE and started working in March of 2012. I'm currently making...

  3. Total deductions for nurses working in Quebec

    Insomniac-88 replied to gailtan's topic in Canada

    This is why I will not take a full-time position ATM. The deductions are ridiculous, and the pay difference between a part-time employee and a full-time employee is small enough to make me cringe. If...

  4. RPN Wage Increase?

    Insomniac-88 posted a topic in Canada

    Where can I follow any updates on the RPN collective agreement that expired on October 10th, 2011 here in Ontario, and any news on wage increases? when they will go into effect, etc? I can't seem to...

  5. Nipissing University RPN to BScN Distance Bridging Program

    Insomniac-88 posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Has anyone taken (or is currently taking) the RPN to RN Bridging program (distance delivery) through Nipissing University? I received a letter of support from the hospital I work for, meet the...

  6. Current RPN Wages - Toronto Area

    Insomniac-88 posted a topic in Canada

    I've noticed a lot of Toronto area hospitals aren't listing their wages for RPN's on their careers pages anymore. Besides North York General, who are on the low side with $22/hour, and Trillium at...

  7. Who is wanted more, RN's or LPN's?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Dezy's topic in Canada

    I've noticed a few people posting in relation to what they can and cannot do as an RPN in Canada. It's really facility specific. I work for a large multi-site hospital system as an RPN and I can...

  8. RN vs RPN Career

    Insomniac-88 replied to NursetobeSil's topic in Canada

    That's really odd. I work for a fairly large hospital system and they push RPN's to work to their full scope of practice. Like I said above, my employer offered IV start, admin, and blood educational...

  9. RN vs RPN Career

    Insomniac-88 replied to NursetobeSil's topic in Canada

    I'm a new RPN here in Ontario & I hang IV medications as well as blood. I also start IV's. My employer offered to train me to perform these tasks, but I hear the RPN program is now integrating...

  10. CNO Registration Times - Usually This Long?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada

    Finally got my registration number.

  11. CNO Registration Times - Usually This Long?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada

    I get nowhere with their customer service reps. I've sent an email to the CNO asking if I could speak to the person directly involved with my paperwork so I can get a better answer than "keep...

  12. CNO Registration Times - Usually This Long?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada

    It's been almost 30 days since I sent in my registration and payment. The CNO charged my credit card for the fee last week, but are now holding my registration to look into information that showed up...

  13. CNO Registration Times - Usually This Long?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada

    I asked the CNO about faxing as well, but they require original documents so they don't accept

  14. CNO Registration Times - Usually This Long?

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada

    so I just got off the phone with the CNO. I sent in my forms February 15th, they received them on February 21st and charged my credit card today (March 2nd), well over the "15 business days". I...

    Congrats!

  17. CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I ended up finally getting through to someone after 47 minutes & they said their computers don't show my application as received yet (even though I mailed it 2 weeks ago) they told me to call back...

  18. CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    has anyone not received their registration number yet? I sent in my payment/form 2 weeks ago today & I still don't see myself on CNO's find a nurse page, nor has my credit card been charged yet....

  19. CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    where do you live? I'd assume everyone should have received their letter by now. I'd call the CNO (or regulating board if you live in a different province) and ask if yours was mailed

  20. CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    you can purchase it at your college campus book store, or on the ASI website at: Assessment Strategies Inc. - Canadian Practical Nurse Registration

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Here is a great study guide I used for the PN exam. I didn't take any prep course what so ever. Just used the CPNRE prep-guide, and this NCLEX-PN study guide:

    Insomniac-88 replied to Insomniac-88's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    the passing grade is 101. Which works out to a 56%, I've never seen it that low. I also heard a passing letter comes in a big envelope? Still waiting on
