Front-line nurses who are working for publicly-funded employers in Nova Scotia will receive a bonus of up to $10,000, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announced Monday.
The money is a way to thank nurses while encouraging more of them to keep working in Nova Scotia, the province says.
According to a Monday news release, nurses will be eligible for another $10,000 bonus next year, as long as they stay in the system and sign a two-year “return of service agreement” by the end of March 2024.
