P.E.I. is taking steps to relieve the strain on its health-care system with a new initiative offering free tuition for licensed practical nursing and paramedic students, so long as they agree to work in the province for two years after graduating.

  3. It’s about time. Every province should have begun offering this when the pandemic began. The best time was three years ago, the second best time is today. They should also offer free tuition for HCAs & LPNs to upgrade to the next nursing designation and begin to incentivize RN programs and Family Medicine with bursaries & reduced or free tuition. The crisis is extreme.

  6. If the plans to erase student tuition and for employers to commit to two-year contracts of employment with workers succeed, then you DO KNOW who this will point the finger to as the villains of our systemic-issues, correct?!?
    Workers willing to invest in a career without being victimized by society's greedy elitists, or their VERY OWN UNIONS, have NEVER been the issue!!!

  9. It is wonderful for the province to offer these opportunities. However, it is difficult to evaluate what amount of pecuniary or material incentives could rectify the serious gender discrimination and socio-economic repression that are at the root of women’s divisive behaviour, so prejudicial in women’s work environments.
    Other than discrimination and repression, there are other important factors that play a role in women’s divisiveness: 1. Moral principles and ethics have traditionally been transmitted from father to son, and most women are systematically outcasted from any moral education. While religious men study the Scriptures, women simply read rulebooks that dictate their behaviour arbitrarily, without any rational explanation: women are treated as second class citizens; 2. Women’s violence is verbal and moral, and these two types of violence are not regulated nor criminalized, as opposed to physical violence, allowing thus violence to permeate to every member of society. (To my knowledge, only Evo Morales in Bolivia has criminalized verbal bullying.)
    While it is excellent to offer these opportunities to potential candidates, it would be also important to implement long-term measures.
