Nursing PLEDGE

Publish Date:

The long-term care (LTC) sector in Ontario is facing a nursing shortage, with forecasts indicating a need to recruit and retain more than 1,800 RPNs and RNs by 2027-28.

The Nursing Partnership for Learning, Employment, Development, Growth, and Experience (Nursing PLEDGE) addresses challenges around nursing recruitment and retention by establishing robust mentorship programs and leadership support within LTC homes.

Nursing PLEDGE includes funding for:

  • Coordination support to set up or enhance a nurse mentorship program in your home
  • Backfill funding to enable nurse mentors to spend dedicated time with mentees
  • Mentorship education resources and participation in a Community of Practice

A Community of Practice for nursing mentors and mentees will also foster continuous learning, collaborative problem solving, professional development and networking among participants.
