Expand nurse bridging program to permanently integrate the primary and acute care sectors

Permanent and unrestricted inclusion of all health sectors in the Bridging Educational Grant in Nursing (BEGIN) Program – from public health, to primary care, to hospitals, home care and long-term care

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED in response to the expansion of the BEGIN program to now include primary and acute care, despite the limited availability and duration, unlike sectors such as community care, home care, and long-term care. The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) advocates for the permanent integration of primary and acute care. They argue for equitable acceptance opportunities similar to those afforded to other sectors.
