RPN Wages in Ontario

Published

I'm currently a PSW in ontario, & i'm almost done the Practical Nursing program.

I'm curious to see what type of monthly income any other RPN's in Ontario are currently making.

I'm a single female, no kids, and still struggle on a PSW salary, at $16/hour, i'm curious to see how much of a life-change will take place financially once i'm a graduated RPN.

If you feel comfortable, how much do you make a month, after taxes, as an RPN in ontario? & where do you work?

Also, is it hard to find full-time, well paying work after graduation? I heard it's quite hard for new grads to make full-time pay?

Thanks :)

Yes, we talk all day.

Depends on where you work, but you will be talking to lots of people over the course of a shift.

ALL nurses bathe patients. Elderly, newborns, patients that require a bed bath.

Usually it's talking to individuals but also you will be talking to groups, such as when you have to give shift report. In nursing school you have to do oral presentations in front of large groups.

RNs and PNs bathe patients of all ages.

what is the difference between the duties of RNs and PNs?

Does studying nursing involve a lot of chemistry courses or is it just a small part of it?

Hello!

I am a nurse from Croatia,and I am thinking about migration to Canada,but first I must improve my English skills :-)

If anyone can tell me how much lpn (rpn) earns after taxes?

For example if you get 25$/h and you work 160h/month, that would be 160x25=4000$

So roughly,how much income would be ? Thanx !
