hospitals in dryden, sioux lookout, kenora and fort frances are
asking confederation college and lakehead university to continue a
community-based nursing program.
25-students are expected to graduate from the pilot project next year.
darlene furlong of the dryden hospital says they are pushing for the
program’s continuation starting in fall 2008 as its a great recruitment
tool.
n047 runs: 21 sec. out…our hospitals.
furlong says participating hospitals will go to bat for the thunder bay
schools to lobby the province for program funding.
