VICTORIA — British Columbia will become the first Canadian province to adopt a nurse\u002Dto\u002Dpatient ratio as part of its plan to improve workload standards in…
Nurses’ union president Aman Grewal said the change will not only help a strained and understaffed health-care system retain nurses but will also improve patient outcomes.
“The hope is that as our nurses who left the system — either went casual or completely left the system — that once they see that working conditions are improving and there’s a lot of flexibility ⦠they will want to come back to a profession that they love and that they want to be a part of,” Grewal said.
Dix called the labour crunch situation in B.C. “urgent,” and said the province is working actively on recruitment as well as retention of workers. The tentative deal will also include a one-time “career laddering” fund of $100 million to allow experienced nurses and health care workers to advance their careers within public health.
