team she explained i have to make educated decisions on what to do there may not be a doctor i can call on i have myself to rely on and community care nurses often find them selves tendingto patients society has largely forgot ten she says agencies have a tough time finding nurses willing to care for clients living in tough neighbourhoods and with community nurses being paid less than their hospital peers legrice said that prob lem will only get worse as nurses leave the commu nity sector to seek positions in hospitals or as mid dle managers in nursing agencies nurses are leaving the community in droves its an exodus we had a team of 13 nurses now we have six weve lost a lot of really top people legrice said were saying we cant take any more patients last year the province announced it would hire 12000 new nurses with an additional 650 full and parttime nurses to expand inhome nursing ser vices but legrice said she and her colleagues havent benefited from any of that new money i dont know where the money is i heard it stopped at the front lines but i havent seen it she said they keep talking about this being the way of the future but they have to do something to make it more desirable to be in the profession over half our staff are single moms the money was supposed to go into frontline nursing but weve never seen it in terms of any salary increases or new nursing positions said legrice who earns 2076 an hour she says ski instructors make more than she does nurses at hospitals across ontario make between 2050 per hour to a maximum of 3024 for an rn with eight years experience the updated wage was recently negotiated by the ontario nurses association and is effective april 1 community care access centre administrators say the money announced by the province was used to hire new nurses to help meet demand but they agree the issue of wage parity is making things difficult you cant have everybody in health care out- competing each other said bill innes executive director of the ccac in york region but its amis- take to think money solves everything its an issue of there being enough people to satisfy demand however innes acknowledged the wage differ ence between hospital nurses and community staff photosteve somerville nurse madge legrice has only herself to rely on at a patients home nurses must be addressed it would be nice to see them equalized but i dont think its right to compare what they do they are two very different jobs and its not a case necessarily of a nurse is a nurse is a nurse in the last couple of years legrice said the provincial government has made it harder for her to do her job knowing that an inequity exists in what she is paid compared to her peers at hospitals as a result she is watching as her colleagues leave community nursing care for hospitals des perate to hire more rns hospitals she said are viewed as attractive because they pay more have ready access to physician backup and regular hours with better working conditions it has been brought to my attention by people within the field and ive raised it with the minister who is aware of the disparity issue and has made a public commitment to address it said oak ridges mpp frank klees i expect you will see a plan to address it in the next couple of months iway store closing 1661 denison st markham kennedy rcldenison st all inventory is
