Nurses are asking for the option to upgrade or refresh their skills on the job, so they don’t have to leave an already strained workforce.
Some nurses answering the province’s call to return to their profession or upgrade their skills say they are hitting roadblocks.
Patrizia Maier, who works as an LPN at Royal Jubilee Hospital, was a single mother with toddlers when she took the 12-month LPN course at Camosun College. Thirteen years later, she’s worked in all areas of health care as an LPN, the last three in acute care in renal dialysis. Tess Hunter was on a waitlist for the four-year bachelor of science in nursing program in 2011 when it was suggested she take the 2011-2012 LPN course at Camosun. She’s been working as an LPN in acute care since she graduated.
Hunter wrote to Camosun for clarification, but was told by Dwayne Pettyjohn, associate dean of health and human sciences at the college, that the admission requirement of a two-year diploma would stand. On the Island, besides Camosun and VIU, that includes North Island College, which has an LPN bridging program in development that aims to include part-time elements so that people can continue to work while studying.“We’re in a staffing crisis,” said Hunter. That makes it imperative to provide more ways for LPNs to train to become RNs, and ways that include being able to continue working, she said.
It’s spending $96 million over three years to increase health training spaces, including 602 new nursing seats in addition to the 2,000 seats currently in B.C. nursing programs.
