I'll be very brief.
For long-term care settings, nurses should be able to manage care in place. The Ontario government recently announced funding for nurse practitioners in long-term care settings. That means that your mother may not have had to go to the hospital in the first place. She may have been able to be cared for in that setting.
First of all, it's to maximize scope of practice so we can care for in place. Second, with regard to turf, I don't think it's turf; I think it's confusion. I think there is legitimate confusion, particularly in the area of overlap. I will particularly state the RN and LPN roles. The clarification needs to be constant. It needs to be case-based or patient-based.
Those would be my suggestions.
