How much do nurses get paid?


Nursing can be a challenging career but it's also rewarding—emotionally and financially. What nurses get paid depends on a few factors: where they are located, how many years of experience they have, and what kind of nurses they are.
General wages

In 2009, the median hourly wage for nurses—more specifically: registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and psychiatric nurses—was $33.00. (That means that half of those employed in this occupation group earned less than this amount and half earned more.) This is significantly higher than the median hourly wage for all occupations, which was $21.00. The overall average hourly wage for nurses was $32.00.
Registered practical nurses get paid significantly less than other nurses. The median hourly wage in 2009 was $23.00, and the average hourly wage was $23.50.
The highest level of pay in nursing is at the head nurse/supervisor level, in which the median hourly wage in 2009 was $34.00, and the average hourly wage was $33.00.
Things to consider:

Pay varies by geographical location. Currently, the highest average wages for registered nurses are found in the Hamilton/Niagara/Brantford, Ontario region at $36.65 an hour. The lowest are in Montreal, Quebec, at $27.75 an hour.
What nurses get paid also depends on whether they work in hospitals, private or public clinics, psychiatric facilities, schools, or elsewhere.

Receiving master's degrees and specializing in certain areas of healthcare can also significantly increase what nurses get paid.
The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions reports that 80% of nurses in Canada belong to unions, which lobby government on behalf of their members to improve pay and working conditions. As a result, nurses have some of the best rates of salary growth in the country. For example, Ontario nurses can expect to start with a salary above $50,000, exceed $60,000 by their 4th or 5th years, and exceed $70,000 by their 7th or 8th year.

One reason why nurses are well-paid is that there's a shortage of them. Many nurses take on much more overtime than people in other professions. So even though the number of hospital nurses making more than $100,000 in 2008 was eight times higher than it was in 2003, these bigger salaries are usually a result of an extraordinary amount of extra work.

BECOMING A REGISTERED NURSE (RN) OR LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (LPN) IN CANADA

Never, ever, ever let anyone tell you it'll be easy... JUST worth it.

Nursing, your career... your future.

Thinking about a career?

Think registered nurse! It's more than a job, it's a growing profession offering an astonishing range of choices and opportunities.

You believe in a healthy lifestyle?


You want excitement?


Intrigued by health questions?


More interested in helping people over the long term?


Nurses are the heart of care. As a registered nurse, you can make a difference in one person's life through one-on-one, and in the health of all Canadians through research and leadership. Jobs, the real story

This is an excellent time to enter nursing as there is a shortage. At some point in their life, every Canadian will require the services of a nurse. Since many nurses will soon retire, Canada needs bright young men and women to choose nursing as a career. Changes in the health care system continue to broaden the opportunities for nurses. An especially important trend is the increasing number of services that emphasize illness prevention and health promotion programs. Many of these are planned and staffed by registered nurses.

Registered nurses earn salaries that compare with other professionals with a similar amount of education. Health care is offered 24 hours a day, so expect to work some nights and weekends, like doctors, law enforcement officers and others who provide essential services.
As in any profession, salaries vary across the country, and people make more as they gain experience and responsibility. Graduates of degree programs usually have more opportunities for advancement, and in some provinces, make more money than graduates of diploma programs. Your provincial or territorial nurses' association can provide current salary ranges.

Nursing is full of opportunities to grow, to advance and to change your career direction. Whatever your interest - working with children, scientific procedures and high tech equipment, teaching and promoting healthy practices, developing your management skills - nursing has something for you. Here are just a few examples:

IN THE COMMUNITY:
health clinics
schools
wellness programs in the workplace
doctors' offices
home care
family planning clinics
poison control centres
prenatal and well-baby clinics
rehabilitation centres
sexually transmitted disease units
AIDS hospices

IN A HOSPITAL:
emergency
intensive care
operating room
post-surgery
maternity
cardiovascular (heart)
oncology (cancer)
psychiatry
pediatrics (children)
palliative (dying people)
geriatrics (seniors)


The great thing about nursing is that your choices never end. With some years of experience and further studies you could branch out in almost any direction imaginable. After a few years in practice you might decide to become an advanced practice nurse. An expert nurse with a master's degree, an advanced practice nurse provides direct care to clients and serves as a role model and consultant to other practising nurses. There are currently two types of ANPs in Canada, clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner. Or you might decide, like Nicole, that you want to investigate current issues in health care. On the leading edge of health care discoveries, nurse researchers design studies, collect data and analyze results. Their findings contribute to the vast body of scientific knowledge that supports and improves nursing.

Leadership
All nurses are teachers, helping people learn to prevent illness and manage health problems. But you might want to become a nurse educator, preparing future nurses to enter practice. You could work at a community college or a university, and research would be part of what you do.
A nurse administrator coordinates nursing services in a hospital or community health centre. Handling large budgets, supervising staff and setting the standards for excellent care takes strength and good management skills.

The sky is the limit
And any of these choices could lead you still further. Nurses' ideas and opinions are sought after by the media, politicians, and national and international groups. Imagine being a consultant to Health Canada, or the World Health Organization.
Or you could travel. Northern Canada is a close-to-home example, but Canadian nurses are so highly regarded that other countries - both developing and developed - actively recruit them. Your skills and knowledge could take you places. The possibilities are endless!


Degree or diploma?
If you're thinking about a career in nursing, you should seriously consider studying for a degree (BN or BNSc). More career opportunities and the possibility of graduate study will be open to nurses with university degrees. Most provinces already require a baccalaureate in nursing (BN or BScN) to enter the profession.

Degree programs take four years. Besides learning social and physical sciences, and nursing, as in the diploma program, university programs generally offer additional studies in leadership, health teaching, research and other disciplines.

Diploma programs take three years. Graduates generally work in hospitals, nursing homes or other structured settings. Many colleges now offer their diploma courses in collaboration with a university with the option of continuing on after graduation to obtain a degree. However, getting a diploma and then a degree generally takes longer, and costs more, than enrolling in a degree program from the beginning.

Nursing students in both university and diploma schools of nursing will study psychology, child development, sociology, anatomy and physiology. The nursing courses include theory and clinical practice. You will be supervised and supported in the clinical setting to ensure the safety of patients and your own safety.

If you are interested in continuing your education, master's and doctoral programs in nursing are available in many places in Canada.

Get ready

Entrance requirements differ from one school to another. Generally, the admission requirements are high school graduation with senior level English or French, mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. You can contact your provincial nurses' association or individual schools for their specific requirements and information on funding.

Caring for people, the independence to make decisions, the challenge and excitement of being on the leading edge of health care.

Steps

1. Make looking for work a full time job. Devote 40 hours a week to this endeavor. Sometimes it takes luck to find a job, but you have to put yourself into the position to be lucky by putting in the legwork. Remember that "Chance favors the prepared mind" (Louis Pasteur).

2. Decide what you don't like about your current job and write it down. Read this list every morning. This will be a key motivator to look for a new job and it will set a criteria of what you want and don't want in your next job.

3. Update your resume. Spell check it and have it read by at least 2 or 3 friends. Let them point out errors and fix the resume. Ask them to be constructive.

4. Boost your own confidence. Tell yourself getting the right job is a 4 to 6 months process ( it will keep you less frustrated if you don't get a job right away).

5. Post your resume on major career websites. See the external links for suggestions. Set up a search agent from these websites.

6. Make an application goal. Apply for a minimum number of jobs every day. For instance, you might choose to apply for 6 jobs a day which match your closest interests. If you can't find 6 jobs in your field, find a close match and apply.

7. Apply for jobs looking at the minimum requirements. Sometimes employers ask for unrealistic qualifications, however if you apply you might hear from them still as they realize they were asking too much.

8. Apply to same job or in a same company every few days. Employers like to see the same resume 3 to 4 times. It shows enthusiasm and motivation.

9. Network.

10. Be Desirable to a Recruiter
