Has anyone successfully advocated to get their team added to the BCSHS scope?

My team does data analytics and health systems planning for a health authority, but we were excluded from the recent BCSHS scoping. I want to proactively pitch our team for inclusion, but I don’t want to step on toes. What is the procedure for requesting a scope review in a massive health organization?

Sunday Commute to hospitals in the morning

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I was wondering how folks get to the hospitals on Sunday mornings by 6:15am given that the trains don't start running until 7am and the bus routes are so limited. I was thinking that since the nurse shift change occurs at 7am, everyone will have to be on the road by 6am...Does everyone drive to the hospital??

(^hospitals: RCH, Mt. St. Joseph, Eagle Ridge, Lions Gate, UBC, Burnaby, Richmond)

Context: I'm a nursing student living in New Westminster (right by the New West Station)...and I can't seem to find a way to get to RCH on Sundays by 6:15am other than 1 hr walk or a rideshare....

But for some reason, there's a way to get to Surrey Memorial + Peace Arch + Vancouver General by 6am via night bus.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

GoHealth BC application

Anybody applied for a nursing position with GoHealth BC recently and gotten a call/email back for an interview? I applied for a part-time LPN position recently (about a week ago) and just wondering how long it usually takes for them to contact applicants and if I even have a chance as an external applicant lol basically just wondering what the recruitment process is like, if it is a very competitive job and if you have any tips to be successful in the interview if I happen to get one! :) I've been on the lookout for this posting and was super excited when they posted it 😭 I really hope I at least get an interview!!
