Have you tried?
Figure 1.
My Sci-fi is that some day you will do your morning pee and poop, the toilet will analyse your output, send it to the medicine cabinet and have the appropriate drugs injected into your toothpaste.

Yup. I think it's only open to ICU nurses who apply and get accepted to the float team. It's pretty much limited to ICU nurses because they must be able to float anywhere in the hospital.
Going 3x12 on 2 off can double gross weekly pay with the new OT rules.
Here's one of douggies "solutions". What a moron. Shipping loved ones far away from their families does not improve quality of life. Part of me wonders if there will be a followup announcement about either a private partner or the province gobbling up hotels that were used as shelters and pretending they are adequate for LTC.

Ontario patients waiting for long-term care beds could be moved outside of their community
The Ford government is planning to introduce legislation that will allow health officials to move people who are in hospital waiting for a long-term care bed into a home that is not in their community

open to RTs as well currently. Many networks are trying to cross train their staff, so they can take shifts at partner hospitals during staff shortages. It's not a popular decision because you could be getting a call 2 hours before your scheduled shift at your 'home base' to divert to another city entirely. This training is um...mandatory in some circles, in other places during the interview process they are upfront promising it's an option left to the employee.
Talk about a carrot.
In other news, one of the RT's currently moved to part time at her hospital she's worked at for 15+ years. Fills her off time with last minute air ambulance trips. All expenses paid travel to europe/asia/middle east. Bad news is, you basically get a text "can you be at the airport in 3 hours?" out of no where.
more then 1 RT at the table was considering the move after hearing the perks.

Accelerating moves to ltc makes a lot of sense. Shipping people everywhere will be almost impossible to unwind. Like the CD case chain when we were younger. It takes far longer to get everyone back where they belong. One you are in ltc, your priority is well below someone in the community so realistically you never get a spot in your desired area.
The hard part is letting go before you have to let go. Waiting lists for the thinner wallets is five to ten years for a decent place. As you comment once you're in a bed you're stuck there.

I'll bet each network operates differently. In my daughter's hospital, I think its only inside their facility, and only open to the ICU, NICU, and cardic nurses who they are trained and experienced enough to float between floors. Even then, they have still have to qualify for the float teams.
The younger staff without families benefit from the extra dough, the ones with families get a break from the constant pressures of OT.
Not perfect but nice to see some creativity in the face of this challenge.
Something to lighten the mood…BEAVERTON!

I look at this as a positive move. DF doesn't have a magic wand, it's going to take time to fix this. At least he's doing something, maybe the best of a handful of shityy options.Here's one of douggies "solutions". What a moron. Shipping loved ones far away from their families does not improve quality of life.

Dont forget the last Ontario govt made this mess over their 15 year reign, the current govt got a 100 year storm to stress test what they inherited.
Not only did they need to fix things, they now have to rebuild a labour intensive system in a tight labour market.
First thing I'd do us jack the copay to match local market conditions. I'm sure there are lots of seniors who could afford to pay their way. $2000/mo for lodging, food, and 3 hrs of personal care a day is a bargain.
I know 2 old fellers who just entered LTC this year, their co pay is $88/day. The houses they moved out of were sold for $2m+, and they both have incomes over $100k. I realize this isn't everyone but gearing to income would help funding.
