The Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-12-08, Page 2Page 2 - Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, December 8, 1993 Future of nursing school is assured by Mike Robinson The future of Wingham's Nursing Assistant School seems assured with last week's announcement of its takeover by Conestoga College. Effective Sept 1, 1994, the school will be transferred to Conestoga College and will be operated at its present location in Wingharn, as a satellite program of the college. Although the ownership of the program will change, students from Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey Counties will be able to access local health care training in Win- gham as they have for the last $2 years. Students will graduate with a college certificate and be able to transfer credits to other college programs. Wingham Hospital CEO Lloyd Koch explained the development followed the provincial government's announcement last spring, that the six Ministry of Health funded nursing assistant programs in the province would no longer redeive funding, and advised the Wingham. and District Hospital that within a year its program would not be able to send its graduates to write registration exams, unless they were trained within the provincial system. The hospital approached Cones- toga College about taking over the program, and an interim agreement was reached in July to have the College manage the training program this year with funding provided by Canada Manpower, Koch said. "This announcement moves the hospital and College into a per- manent relationship whereby the College provides the program and the hospital provides the site for the Nursing Assistant 'Program; said -Koch. Hospital board of directors chair- man Doug Fortune said over the past year the hospital has faced cutbacks and bad news. He said Friday's announcement was "good news for a change." Cones,$oga College president John Tibbits said he' was pleased to carry on the "proud tradition" and looks to expand the school's offerings in the health care field. At the announcement, Tibbits also presented a plaque of Conestoga's guild shield for the school. He said the college is still hoping for Canada Manpower funding, but if that funding is not available it will go through regular post -secon- dary grants. Future Needs As other training needs are iden- tified in health care, the College expects to assess how they can meet this area's needs from the hospital satellite base. "There is no question of demand for health care workers," said Tib - bits, • He felt that as long as long term health care is needed, there will be a need for the nursing assistant program. But to provide appropriate health care, he foresaw a new type of position being created, personal support workers. As well, since many of the students ' applying are mature students, he saw the need for pre - health classes in biology and math. •turn to page 3 • •";�i r.�ay s/,-rFyrv��?
