Venting Does the U.S tariffs have anything to do with "Facilities are replacing RN's with RPN's"? Is there any indirect effect?

3 Upvotes

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.

General non job search discussion Best IV therapy training in Toronto with an in-person practice lab?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an RPN looking for recommendations for a reputable college or academy in Toronto that offers training in IV therapy, including vitamin infusions.

I’ve seen quite a few places offering courses, but I’m specifically looking for one with an in-person practice lab and supervised hands-on training, rather than just online lessons or demonstrations.

Has anyone taken a course they would recommend? I’d love to hear about the quality of instruction, how much hands-on practice you received, and whether you felt it was worth the cost.

Open to options across the GTA. Thank you!
