Health Minister Sylvia Jones is directing the regulatory bodies for nurses and doctors to “make every effort … as expeditiously as possible” to accredit those trained in other countries.
this week issued a “critical care bed alert,” warning its intensive care units were “at capacity,” and Lakeridge Health has temporarily closed the ICU at its Bowmanville hospital and moved patients to campuses in Ajax-Pickering and Oshawa.
“If an employee’s referred candidate is hired, the employee will receive $1,000 upon completion of the new hire’s probationary period and an additional $1,000 upon the new hire’s one-year anniversary with Lakeridge Health,” spokesperson Julie Dowdie told the Star. She also requested reports from both regulatory colleges within two weeks detailing efforts on “how expeditiously applicants will be registered” to handle patients in Ontario.
Of those nurses accredited, 762 have been hired by hospitals after completing the “supervised practice experience program” launched by the province and college in January to speed up accreditations. Another 429 have been hired by nursing homes, the government said.
