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

[LydiaGreen]

The start wage for a graduate nurse in Ontario is $22/hour. Seems wonderful to me (my highest wage was $10/hour with my high school diploma), but I have heard others that think this is low. What's the starting wage in other provinces?

Nursing does a yearly salary survey, but for the US only. You might try searching for their site, or reading some back issues.

Hmonster has a tool where you can compare salaries between states.

I have never seen anything quite like you're describing. Good luck!

I would go to each province's union web site and see the newest contracts. http://www.bcnu.org is the one for bc I think
