Im an RN in Ontario. My pay aint so bad, but I have to deal with a lot to get it... Im in the middle of the pay scale so Ill pull in around $65000 this year and I dont do any OT. I work DDNN, five off. All 12 hour shifts 07-19 or 19-07. Lots of weekends and holidays. ICU is a fun place to work, and it keeps me outta trouble, but after most shifts, its all I can do to drive the hour commute home and pass out. FI makes around $80000, so all in all especially with the economy the way it is right now we're not complaining. Plus we have no debt (not counting the mortgage).
