TerraceBC city council holds back endorsement for local nurses’ inclusion in bonus program
Terrace city council has held back from fully endorsing a call to add local nurses to a program of paying bonuses to have them stay on the job.
“While the amount is not a significant amount of money, it is an incentive to take a permanent position and provide stability to the health care system,” she wrote. “Many of these temporary nurses are paid two to three times the rate of local workers,” said Forster. Councillor Sarah Zimmerman said a recent Northern Health briefing she and councillor Brian Downie attended revealed a number of strategies to find and keep nurses.
Subsequent information from Northern Health confirmed that the provincial government provided it with $6.38 million in Sept. 2021 to pay employees to stay on the job in Hudson’s Hope, Tumbler Ridge, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, Hazelton, Prince Rupert and, more recently, Haida Gwaii.
