Over 1000 worry-free vacations to choose from. A RENEWED government effort to find registered nurses is being welcomed but accomplishing the task is easier said than done, says a nursing official. That’s because nobedy knows for sure how many non-working registered nurses there are in B.C., says Lorraine Gillespie of the Registered Nurses Association of B.C,, the body that governs the profession. Although the association has about 4,000 non-working registered nurses on its books, their status and willingness to re- turn to work is unknown, she said. “Would they be interested? What made them leave in the first place?” asked Gillespie. ; “And if they return, what can be done to make the wark environment one of on- going support?” Gillespie’s comments follow on a $21.4 million series of initiatives an- nounced last month by the province. It wants not only to target non-practis- ing registered nurses but will put more Money into training regular duty nurses for specialty positions -and will have people travel overseas to find specialty- trained nurses to move to B.C. Some facets of what was announced were already being put into motion by the’ previous NDP government beginning last Gillespie is particularly interested in efforts to have nurses who are at retire- ment age stay on to pass their knowledge and experience on to newer entrants into the field. And registered nurses on long term dis- ability also have experience which they can pass on, she said. “The more programs you have, the better chances there are of having some of them work,” she said. “At least you'll be able to say you tried them, even if they don’t work.” Meanwhile, a health ministry official says exact details of each program still aren’t ready. Nadine Criddle noted that some of the programs aren’t to take hold until fall. Although the province says it wants to find 90 foreign-trained specialty nurses by sending recruiters overseas at a cost of $400,000, Criddle said it isn’t yet known how those 90 people will be placed around the province. Mills Memorial Hospital nursing direc- tor Marg Petrick has been nominated to be a member of the overseas recruiting team.
