The Nova Scotia Internationally Educated Nurses Network will get $25,000 to help internationally trained nurses overcome licensing challenges and integrate into the Nova Scotia workforce. The North End Community Health Centre provides primary health care for residents of Halifax's north end, with a satellite office in Dartmouth. It will receive $75,000 to initiate health-care recruitment visits, welcome and appreciation events, a new recruitment video and visits to junior highs and high schools across Halifax to foster an interest in health care among youth.
The funding is from the provincial government's new health-care recruitment community fund, which aims to improve health-care recruitment and retention programs.
