HALIFAX, N.S. — Hospital care is primary about the nurses. If you are being admitted for surgery, it’s so that the nursing staff can look after you until you are discharged. And there’s been a lot of talk about the pressures on the emergency departments in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia Health has recently announced ways to help support the nurses in those roles now and to encourage others to move into those positions. Dr.
And what that means is we have had over 20-25 retired nurses, for instance, who’ve built programs for us. Programs around mentoring, about precepting and around supporting nurses. And so the announcement is about making sure that is in place. And this will be a model in which that nurses will have quick access to information to help them to make their decisions.
So what first we need to do is make sure that we have both teams working together, doing the right things. And so if I add to the announcement this week, a patient advocate, so somebody in the waiting rooms helping people to be comfortable to get them food and that kind of thing, but also having a clinical provider who circulates in that waiting room.
So it's not necessarily in an Emergency Room. So we have all kinds of. We've talked about them, our Mobile Primary Care busses, our Virtual Care Nova Scotia, our walk-in clinics where pharmacists are working to their full scope of practice. So it's more than getting more numbers that's important. And what that means is, for instance, we know we've got large vacancy rates, we have jobs for anybody. So we have been reaching out to registered nurses, to nurse practitioners, to physician assistants and others to hear from them. We have opened we have posted on our website today and also I can leave with you, but if you want, if you have an interest in working with us here in the province or elsewhere, we want to hear from you.
