RNAs ask for study of hospital staffing needs Concern about the possibility of Registered Nursing Assistants (RNAs) being phased out to•-• some extent in Ontario hospitals was expressed at a recent meeting of the Midwestern Chapter 'of the Ontario Association of Registered Nursing Assistants. • The meeting was held in Wingham. Verna Sterner, provincial president of the association, cited an article which estimated replacing full- time RNAs with Registered Nurses and part-time RNAs will cost Ontario's health care system, an additional $30 million.

PI One recommendation asks that the Ontario Ministry of Health co-operate with the Ontario Hospital Association and nursing organizations in funding an independent study of the need for all - Registered Nurse staffing, and the cost-effectiveness of different nursingroles in a ' variety of hospital settings. • Another resolution calls on the Ministry of Health's Advisory Committee on Nursing Manpower to an- nually monitor RNA em- ployment levels in hospitals and provide this information to employer associationsand.. nursing organizations. Several recommendations deal with education. One asks that the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities monitor 'the RNA employment market more closely and modify education program require- ments to reflect the skills and knowledge employers require of RNAs. It is also recommended the ministry undertake a review of the content and length of RNA education programs to en-• sure the adequacy of knowl- edge, and skills of graduates. Expansion of "telemedi- cine" programs to provide additional in-service train- ing' for RNAs, is also recom- mended. The study recommends RNA education programs place a major emphasis on -geriatrics and drug ad- ministration in recognition of the increased health care needs which will result from the aging of the population. For long-term care facili- ties, the study recommends administrators of homes for •the'aged and nursing homes UCW holds• its May meeting BELMORE—The May meeting of the Belmore- McIntosh United Church Women was held last Wednesday evening with the vice president, Ellen Inglis, in charge.
