Operates efficiently and effectively - Flexible

We want flexible and efficient staffing practices that ensure care units are staffed by qualified nurses utilizing their training and experience to the fullest.
  • Streamlining recruitment processes and reducing job churn will reduce time spent in recruiting and orientation, and allow nurses to focus more efforts on direct patient care. By keeping nurses in positions where they have bid for a minimum time period, patient care can be positively impacted.

  • Every year thousands of nursing positions are posted as nurses move to different positions within the Saskatchewan health system. Each transition involves many hours of recruiting process and orientation. By working with SUN to establish guidelines for reducing job churn, health employers can provide a more stable staffing complement resulting in a positive impact on patient care, and redirecting resources from administrative processes.
