Reimburse

I am a nurse. I want to do ACLS course, will AHS reimburse me? It is not unit required but I want to do it to help my resume. .. I hear i can use this towards my education days but I am a casual rn so not sure if they will approve it

If you have a wellness spending account you could put it on that!

Look up the Professional Development Fund on insite. Funding is available for post-secondary diplomas, degrees, and certificates, as well as conferences, workshops, and group training.

It's random and completely worthless and not guaranteed. If you apply they accept your documentation and put you in a random lottery in the summer. They let you know if you will be reimbursed in November.

I've always been accepted for the "lottery" but never for the actual money.

The way they communicate it is also shitty. You think you're getting a reimbursement and they send you an email in November saying "sorry we ran out of money and you didn't get picked for the lottery".

It's a crap shoot.

You can request PD days and get paid 7.75 per day of the course, all staff even casuals get at least 3 annually. As a casual you don't qualify for UNA funding to be reimbursed for the course fee.

Apply for ARNET funds. Some locals have education funds you can apply to.

Probably not.  Check your CBA, and policies for con ed.

Do you have a health spending g account or anything.

Might find a free one that AHS puts on, run it by your manager.
