(WIKI) Jacques Chaoulli is a physician best known for launching a Supreme Court challenge against the ban in Quebec on private health care.[1] He has French and Canadian citizenship.

Chaoulli was born in France in 1952 and earned a medical degree from the Paris Diderot University. In 1978, he moved to Quebec to study medical education and earned a Master's degree from Université Laval in 1982. Chaoulli has practiced medicine in Quebec since 1986 and is now a general practitioner in Montreal.[2]

In 2005, Chaoulli launched a court challenge against the Quebec government with the Supreme Court of Canada, arguing the Canadian implementation of publicly funded health care was not effective at delivering an adequate level of care.[1][3] After losing in two lower courts, he won the Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General), the Supreme Court's decision on the case, causing a change in the Quebec government's policy on wait times and privatization.
In 2006, he called for further privatization to improve wait times.[4]
He currently serves as a special advisor to the Conservative Party of Quebec.

The News Watch: 500 out of 1700 Canadian student nurses fail American nursing exam


tbnewswatch.com

THUNDER BAY -- Local nursing students are failing their licensing exam at an alarming rate.
A new College of Nurses exam has been brought in this year from the United States.
And the high failure rate is forcing the Regional Hospital to restructure how they schedule their nursing staff.
Details on the pass-fail rate of nursing students at Lakehead University and Confederation College are unavailable.
But according to data from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing for the first quarter of 2015, the test has a less than 30 per cent pass rate for nursing students from outside the U.S.
The Regional Hospital's Chief Nurse Executive, Rhonda Crocker Ellacott, says the new exam has caused a lot of their new hires to fail.
The hospital has created a unit care aid role, to help the unsuccessful nurses until they can write the exam again.
The vice-president of the Ontario Nurses Association, Anne Clark, says it's an unfair situation for nursing students who have successfully completed four years of schooling, only to then fail a test based on American nursing standards.
(TBT News)

Comment: Ontario Registered Nurses have much more responsibility (NPs allowed to diagnoses,investigate and prescribe).. Only one "MAGNET" accredited hosp in Canada by American Nurses Evaluation Centre: Toronto Mt Sinai (Jan 15,2015). In USA 7% of hospitals have MAGNET status. USA computerized exam obviously has a higher standard in keeping with an increasing independent role of Community Nurse-GPs..
