In our area it has already been announced that the ccac is being taken over by LHIN....so will not be ccac here at all

Are you unionized? What part of Ontario are you..I am Trenton area

Just had interview with VON..rate of pay...here in in Ontario compared to same job in nova Scotia less...ouch and it is one of last two remaining branches not unionized.... But I love this kind of work so a bit torn...currently on contract and making more but boring job and only till end of June... Decisions decisions!

Where in Ontario is that?

Trish..what home-care agency do you work for?...I miss home-care!!

So I am military spouse so we live in Trenton area....I would encourage you to apply for your license early as they are slooooow here at the college due to RNs and RPNs being processed out of the same college...weird no? ...it took me nearly 3/months to get my license!!! I have lived across Canada and have even lived here before and was amazed how long it took this time....jurisprudence exam etc....but I also have a ton of paperwork fue to living in 4 provinces in last 10 years...but generally takes a long time for most....so here the job market is slim....Ottawa better than here and I do see a lot of job ads in Toronto but I have been told that is not always the way there....I have a very good job at a health unit here which is rare for RPN... But I am also contract and don't have much hope of extended stay past July after almost two years at that point....but like I said it's pretty slim pickings in this area...hospital work is mostly casual...long term care (not my bag but it is available) and home care which I love and did for 3+ years in NS..but UN unionized for the most part in my area and pay is crap....which is unfortunate as I was paid fair and unionized in NS...hope this is helpful

Hiya...we are RPNs here...just so when you are looking...registered practical nurses....where in Ontario....I only know my area ...I find it depends where you go here...I also moved from NS about a year and a half ago

Are you still in Manitoba?...has it changed in the last couple years...I am looking at travel nursing as an LPN and was curious about it...thanks

Thanks ...I kind of thought so...no Paramed peeps on here?

Hello...this is my first post...just wanted to know if there are any VON or Paramed RPNS on here who could give me some insight into the home care nursing jobs here in Ontario... Pay? Union?? Where are the collective agreements posted online??? I worked for VON for 4 years in Nova Scotia but get the feeling we are not as union strong down here...any advice would help...TIA
