RPNs talked about why so many are quitting the profession
Ontario's Registered Practical Nurses believe they are overworked, underpaid and certainly stressed out.
"And you know, the facts that we actually received under that poll are pretty alarming, particularly here at Health Sciences North, and at the Continuing Care just down the road St. Joe's Continuing Care," said Richer. Richer said RPNs would like to get 70 per cent of an RN's level of pay, which would bring them up to roughly $35 per hour.
Also speaking out was Jackie Walker, RPN and nursing division president for SEIU Healthcare. She said one interesting number that came out in the Nanos polling was that 64 per cent — nearly two-thirds — of RPNs do not look forward to going to work each day.
