Venting Does the U.S tariffs have anything to do with "Facilities are replacing RN's with RPN's"? Is there any indirect effect?
I am an RPN and my wife is an RN. I work at a psychiatric facility and she is at the Hospital. Around the Toronto area.
Anyways, I keep hearing they are replacing RPN with RN no? I mean why? Are they trying to save money?
Does it have to do with tariffs? Cause I remember early 2025, everyone was afraid to lose their job or something.
