HALDIMAND—The Ontario government is investing $35 million to increase enrollment in nursing education programs in publicly-assisted colleges and universities across the province. The new spaces will be available for fall 2021 and winter 2022 cohorts and will introduce approximately 1,130 new practical nurses and 870 registered nurses into the health care system.
“This is another step towards our commitment for long-term care,” said Haldimand Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett. “These graduates can assist with staffing the new long-term care beds previously announced in Haldimand Norfolk.”
