I have been out of Canada for quite some time....

Is R & R Healthcare Services an agency? If so, that would explain higher wages....

Just a quick note to let you know I have seen postings in Winnipeg offering substantial wages for LPN's. I wonder if it is not like Bayshore who offer higher wages however I do not think you get consistent hours. I have worked as a RPN in Ontario and my wage was 20.89 per hour. This was in acute care. I would hope with all the extra skills , expanded scope and such that they would pay us accordingly. Just my two cents.

I think you're right. Bayshore advertises 19.00-20.00/hr in Calgary, but only if you are called into work. I don't know what their regular wages would be. I have seen that Carewest offers pretty good wages and benefits, plus shift diff.

I called the company in wpg to find out, and the reason they have higher wages is because you are considered a contract nurse, not permanent, and you move around to different sites (in and out of town).

Hi, Can someone tell me why the wages for LPN's in manitoba are so high--$24.00 - $28.00/hr starting!! This is according to the HRDC website. In Alberta we start at $15.60/hr, depending on the agency it could be up to $16.00/hr. How about other provinces??

Maybe it's time to move back....

In Ontario hospitals RPN'S start at 21.46....some nursing homes pay less and clinic's pay lower

In Southern Ontario RPN's start at 21.46/hr plus shift dif and benefits.

Hi just curious where in southern ontario are you from I moved from the Niagara region three years ago. I worked at Hotel dieu wage was approx 19.48. Now in Alberta and wage has decreased whopee!

I am from St.Catharines but I now live in Welland. All hospitals are now under Niagara Health Systems ..from Fort Erie to St.Catharines - St.Cath Gen..HDH..Shaver Pt.Colborne..Welland General - which has the most hospital beds.

This health system is so desperate for Nurses they requested a Nursing refresher and they will be starting the second refresher in Sept. Ont Nursing Ass. will reimburse college courses up to $1500. per year
