Front-line nurses who are working for publicly-funded employers in Nova Scotia will receive a bonus of up to $10,000, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced Monday.
The money is a way to thank nurses while encouraging more of them to keep working in Nova Scotia, the province says.
“Our nurses do such an amazing job day in and day out. I'm proud to recognize our nurses with these bonuses — because they've earned it," said Houston in the release. The province says it will also pay $10,000 to nurses who have left the public system if they agree to come back and sign a two-year agreement. To qualify for this incentive, they will need to agree to take a publicly-funded position by March 31, 2023.“It could be up to 1,500, 2,000,” said Michelle Thompson, Nova Scotia’s health minister. “That would be ideal if those folks would come back to us.”
The province said bonuses and incentives will be prorated based on the percentage of a full-time equivalent position that an employee holds and when they were hired. They are being offered outside any negotiated wage agreements.“I think it’s fantastic news,” said Janet Hazelton, president of the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union. “We’ve been saying for a long time that retaining nurses is every bit as important if not more than recruiting.
