The Yukon Registered Nurses Association administers funding provided by the Yukon Government Department of Health & Social Services for the purpose of supporting ongoing education for Yukon registered nurses. These education funds consist of an annual grant from the Yukon Government to enable eligible Yukon Registered Nurses to complete education programs including local and distance courses and conferences; short term or long term programs; group education sessions which will benefit Yukon RNs. This funding is also available to Yukon nurses who have been out of the nursing workforce and require a re-entry program or refresher course to be able to return to nursing.
An Education Fund Management Committee has been authorized by YRNA to oversee the distribution of these government funds. Current year application deadlines for this funding is JANUARY 31st, APRIL 30th, AUGUST 31st and OCTOBER 31st.
