Health Sciences North is trying several new initiatives such as voluntary standby, paying shift incentives for call-ins, paying licence fees for new nursing graduates, and inviting recent retirees to come back and help out or to mentor new staff
Health Sciences North in Sudbury, the largest hospital in Northern Ontario, said it is taking steps to address the current staff shortage there.
"There are many reasons for the current provincial staffing situation including retirements, people choosing other employment options and a limited number of new graduates to recruit." "Our leadership teams met in May to develop plans targeting our staffing shortages and developing recruitment plans to bolster our frontlines," he said.
In addition to that, the hospital has recruited 48 nurses since May 2022 with more planned to start in the fall. New graduate license fees are being paid to attract new graduates to HSN, Turnbull said.
