What is the start wage for a GN in your province?

fergus51 · Jan 11, 2004

It's low if you are in Toronto;)

In BC it was 24 something last I looked.

Nowhere near Toronto... I am located close to the Ontario/Manitoba border where the cost of living is much lower than it is in TO

Lucky you:) Unfortunately I think I would starve to death if I lived anywhere that didn't have takeout available 24/7:) I think that's the only downside of having a provincial wage set (cost of living is not taken into account at all).

Hey Lydia! Do you live in the Lake of The Woods area? Whiteshell? Love that area!

My mother lives in Kenora (on Lake of the Woods)... I live a hop, skip, and a jump away, but still definitely in sunset country. We have some of the greatest fishing ANYWHERE, especially if you like walleye (pickerel). Yummy stuff. Beautiful country. I love it here... born and raised... but, if I can't get a full-time job within two years of graduation... I would consider Alberta (if I had to). Also very beautiful there in the Rycroft, Spirit River area - north of Grande Prairie. Their weather is very similar to our's so that wouldn't be a huge adjustment and the wages are comparable if not better than those in Ontario (thanks, Nurseman, for the post of wages, I appreciate it).

Hmm Enjoying our cold snap Lydia LOL. I am finishing up the Rn program here at Confederation College in Thunder Bay. I have an interview at a Hospital in New york, and one in California today. With weather like this I am leaning toward California lol. I am from Manitouwadge myself and I have relatives in Atikokan and yes it is beautiful country up here, the cold and snow suck when ya don't have a ski-doo though.
