HealthOPM, a leading staffing and recruitment provider, was engaged to oversee the mass hiring of 373 Personal Support Workers, Registered Practical Nurses, and Registered Nurses for a new long-term care home in Mississauga, Ontario. This project presented unique challenges due to the scale of hiring within a tight timeframe of 90 days and evolving requirements.
The road to providing a solution to the staffing crisis in Ontario has led to a plan by the Ontario Government to fund nursing homes to hire more workers, with the aim for each resident to receive an average of four hours of daily hands-on care by March 31, 2025.
If you or a loved one has been in the hospital recently, chances are that nurses played an important role. Nurses from nurse staffing agencies can be seen all over hospitals and medical centers these days.
