Internships. The Hospital may establish internships for the purpose of meeting future projected nursing shortages and/or providing career opportunities where there are no internal qualified candidates for job postings. In such circumstances, the implementation and guidelines of such an arrangement will be determined locally by the Hospital and the Union subject to the following: Internships are designed to develop the Hospital’s staff in order to fill positions for which there are currently no qualified internal candidates and/or for which shortages are predicted within a five (5) year period. Internships enable hospitals to maximize the use of qualified internal staff to meet their human resources needs, while at the same time providing career development opportunities for their employees. To provide direction to the local parties in developing and implementing internship(s) the Ontario Nurses’ Association and Participating Hospitals have agreed to the following principles:

Internships. The Internship (minimum 4 weeks) is a mandatory element of the curriculum of the EMJMD-EMLex. It falls to the student to organize the internship according to the agreement with the EMJMD-EMLex coordinator of the university. The consortium offers a catalog of potential internships.
Internships. An adjunct employee, covered by this Agreement, who is assigned to supervise students in internship experiences (which includes such student experiences as practicums, field placements, work study, externships, and cooperative work experiences) shall be compensated at the rate of one-fourth (1/4) contact hour per student to a maximum of nine (9) contact hours per semester.
Internships. The Employer may establish internships for the purpose of meeting future projected nursing shortages. In such circumstances, the implementation and guidelines of such an arrangement will be determined by the Employer and the Union subject to the following: Internships are designed to develop the Employer’s staff in order to fill positions for which there are currently no qualified candidates and/or for which shortages are predicted within a five (5) year period. Internships enable Employers to maximize the use of qualified internal staff to meet their human resources needs, while at the same time providing career development opportunities for their employees. Principles:
Internships. M.01 Internships Access to Hospital Internships shall be through the standard job posting process. Job postings shall describe any specific terms and conditions of the internship not already covered below. Selection into an internship program shall be on the basis of previous experience, critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and basic nursing assessment skills. Where the skills and abilities of the nurses being considered are relatively equal, seniority shall govern, providing that the successful applicant, if any, is sufficiently qualified to complete and meet the performance expectations of the program. Upon being accepted into an internship program, the intern shall spend a minimum of 35 hours in the unit where she will eventually work before beginning the formal educational component of the program. These tours shall be worked on a shadow basis with a senior nurse, in order to familiarize the intern with the unit and its work environment. At the conclusion of this evaluation period, the nurse shall be given the opportunity of returning to her former position if she/he no longer wishes to work in the new area. The intern will be required to complete a formal educational program at a local college or learning institute selected by the Employer for a period of a time determined by the specific qualifications or certification being sought. During this period, the intern will continue to be paid her regular nursing salary. The intern will be required to actively participate in ongoing needs based assessment of her clinical needs with the designated nurse clinician or nurse mentor. The intern will therefore be expected to provide copies to the Employer copies of any tests and formal progress reports, including final grades received, during the academic component of the program. A nurse who fails the academic portion of the program will be given the opportunity to repeat the failed components on her own time, pending which she may be placed in a vacant position for which she is already qualified or, if no positions are available, laid off under Article 10 of the Collective Agreement. Upon beginning the practical component of the program, the intern will be expected to demonstrate ongoing learning while being mentored by senior staff on the unit. A nurse successfully completing the internship program need not be considered for a further vacancy in the Hospital for a period up to eighteen (18) months following completion of the internship.
Internships. All job announcements for internship positions will include and highlight in bold letters a warning clause: Employees seeking a promotion to this internship position will not be guaranteed return to their former position.
Internships. The Employer may establish internships for the purpose of meeting future projected nursing shortages. In such circumstances, the implementation and guidelines of such an arrangement will be determined locally by the Employer and the Union subject to the following: Internships are designed to develop the Employer’s staff in order to fill positions for which there are currently no qualified internal candidates and/or for which shortages are predicted within a five (5) year period. Internships enable Employers to maximize the use of qualified internal staff to meet their human resources needs, while at the same time providing career development opportunities for their employees. To provide direction to the local parties in developing and implementing internship(s) the Ontario Nurses’ Association and the Employer have agreed to the following principles:
Internships. One (1) unit of Calculated Faculty Hour A (CAH) credit is given for every ten (10) students in supervised, on-the-job training (courses currently numbered 95). Work experience seminar hours (current numbered 96) are credited as Calculated Faculty Hour A (CAH).
