Union leaders say while some establishments have been paying nurse clinicians based on rules outlined in the collective agreement, others have been incentivizing them and paying them more to recognize additional schooling. As Global’s Felicia Parrillo reports, the practice is no longer being tolerated by Quebec’s Health Ministry.
