How do you get more nurses in under-served areas? - robkelk - 04-30-2025
This has been happening for two years, but I only learned about it today.
In order to address the shortage of nurses and paramedics, the province of Ontario pays the tuition, books, and course fees of Ontario residents taking Practical Nursing or Paramedic programs at many Ontario colleges and universities. One has to commit to work where one takes the courses (which means Toronto is not included in this scholarship program at all, and paramedic students only qualify for a scholarship north of North Bay).
You get more nurses in under-served areas by training them in those areas.
