Required Education Subsequent to Employment. Any education required by the Employer subsequent to employment shall be provided during hours compensated pursuant to the Contract Agreement and with the expenses thereof paid by the Employer. Mandatory meetings and required education will be offered or made accessible to the Registered Nurse during or adjacent to the nurse's scheduled work shift. Although alternate mechanisms such as video tapes, audio tapes, or self-study may not be suitable in all instances, such alternate mechanisms will be used where deemed appropriate. The Employer agrees to develop and implement a system to channel mandatory/required education for RNs into a manageable format. This will be routed through the Education Department to provide a continuous, yet predictable, planning schedule to ensure RNs stay consistently informed and current with key information.

The following general principles are important and will be afforded significant consideration in creating a new plan for delivering education to RNs working in hospital-based units. • An important objective is to reduce the amount of Healthstream training. As part of this, one goal is to create a classroom training program that consists of between eight and twenty hours of training to replace Healthstream modules. • Where in-person education is optimal (e.g., demonstration or hands-on training is needed), it is desirable to bundle training programs together, and to conduct the training away from the patient care unit. • For Healthstream training bundles that exceed ninety minutes estimated time of completion, the aim is to assign a relief nurse to the patient care unit at appropriate times in order to facilitate completion of the bundles in a timely manner.
