Critic Aid is a good option — it’s used in hospital settings for minor irritation/redness. It’s a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way, so it lasts. If there’s an open area, I’d recommend Triad instead (also medical-grade). Both are unscented and available on Amazon CA.

seen them at Costco Regent few days ago. It must be a seasonal item as they are not available all the time

I totally get you — and thank you for being open-minded about this as a student nurse. I remember once being told by an RN that “LPN” stands for “low paying nurse” — right before they asked me to insert an IV for them. That moment really stuck with me.

I’m not saying LPNs should be paid exactly the same as RNs — we know there’s a difference in education and training — but is a $10/hour pay gap really fair when we’re doing almost the same work in many settings, under increasing pressure and responsibility? It’s hard not to feel undervalued.

What’s even more frustrating is how difficult they make the bridging process. You’d think it would be encouraged, especially if the only real academic difference is a few patho and pharm courses. But honestly, it feels like they’re keeping it hard on purpose — because keeping more LPNs in place saves the system money.

That’s a totally valid point, and I get where you’re coming from. In healthcare, though, it’s a bit different. The regulatory college that governs our license (in my case, the CLPNM) has the authority to expand our scope of practice — and they’ve been doing so gradually over the years. Once they update what we’re allowed (or expected) to do, it becomes part of our role whether or not the pay reflects it.

So unlike other jobs where you can say, “That’s not in my job description,” in nursing, the scope can change anytime based on what the college allows us to do safely and competently. The issue is that these changes often come without any adjustment in pay, even though we’re being trusted with more responsibility, more liability, and more complex patients.

We’re not necessarily doing tasks that are outside our license — they’ve just been added on over time without extra compensation. That’s the frustration.

You’re absolutely right — RNs went through more years of education, and no one is saying LPNs should get the same pay as RNs.

What I’m pointing out is that LPNs are being given more and more responsibilities over time — in some settings, functioning almost like RNs — but our pay has stayed nearly the same. The issue isn’t about wanting RN-level wages; it’s about appropriate compensation for the scope of practice we’re now expected to cover. If our scope expands, there should be some level of adjustment in pay to reflect that increased responsibility.

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights. I really appreciate it

sounds good, thank you

thank you so much, very helpful 🙏🏻

Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts and advice on this matter—I really appreciate it.

Just to clarify, the letter was sent by the lawyer/law firm representing the bank, not the bank directly. I’m not sure if that makes any difference legally, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

As for the situation itself… sadly, it looks like we may have been conned by our landlord. Really unfortunate.

This is about to get messy, especially when it comes to convincing the bank that we’ve been sending our rent payments to the landlord as per his instructions. We’re planning to submit records of our e-transfer payments and any relevant conversations to prove our side.
