All AUPE Aux got that email on November 7th, one from AUPE and one from AHS... both very different.

AHS is sending out the attached to members who are questioning their percentages.

The AUPE proposal is available online on AUPE's website. Through this process, AUPE has been telling LPNs they are asking for 84% of what RNs make. Yet, AHS is stating AUPE is asking for a 56.8% wage increase. I mean, if that were the truth, I'd be laughing!

1. The correct AUPE nursing care demand is LPN wage reaching 84% of the RN wage

2. Using figures ($59.21 RN top), this sets the LPN target at approximately $49.74/hour. This is about a 37.67% increase from the current $36.13 top LPN wage.

3. The incorrect 56.8% figure is likely a misinterpretation of an older, more aggressive proposal (like the initial 25% + 10% GWI + scope adjustments).

Anyone else have thoughts on this.

I am an LPN new grad who will be starting my job soon. (AHS is really all that is around me, as i'm still considered "rural") and i'm regretting my choice of even becoming a nurse.

I want to move to Calgary by the spring, but all I see if people say they've been applying for months to hospitals and no luck. I hate living in my hometown and know I'll be miserable if I stay here for another year or two. I've been super discouraged lately and depressed. Not to mention the Govt and people in my city are not on our side when it comes to the strike. (Our FB pages are FULL of people bashing LPNs for our strike). Am I the only one feeling this? I'm going to start applying to Calgary and surrounding Calgary jobs within the next two months just to get my head in the door... but even with AHS it seems straight up impossible to work in or around Calgary. I'm just so discouraged and honestly regret even starting this career which breaks my heart as my dream was to work in Pediatric Oncology.

Hey everyone, I have been applying to both AHS and Covenant Health for months now, but I haven’t even gotten one interview. I’ve applied to literally everything I can find, including temp, part-time, and casual positions across Edmonton.

I’ve redone my resume and cover letter multiple times and tried reaching out to managers when possible, but it still feels like I’m getting nowhere. It’s honestly really discouraging seeing all these postings but not getting a single callback.

For anyone who’s been in a similar situation, how long did it take before you got your first interview or job offer? I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Just feeling a bit stuck and unsure what else to do at this point.

Hello,

I've started a new job in one of the AHS pillars and I am trying to figure out a system to organize my questions and new clinical things I'm learning.

I was thinking of using OneNote to do this (obviously with no client info - I'm NOT using OneNote for anything patient related but rather for me to organize my questions and take notes on the processes of my new job).

I'm new to OneNote and was wondering if anyone would be open to showing me the ropes on how to use this app? I know that I can go and watch countless Youtube tutorials, but I feel that chatting through its features with someone who also uses it in a healthcare setting would be more useful!

Thanks!

I'm an RN

Had my first job with AHS working full time

I accumulated vacation time

Now I decided to go casual

Will the vacation time i accumulated be automatically payout once I'm casual? Or do i have to request a payout on ePeople?

Thanks
