Current Nursing Shortage
Some provincial health authorities have decreased the number of nursing positions
because of funding shortfalls.
These are some of the political nuances of nursing in Canada.
The various career sections on health
authority websites still show a wide variety of positions, but many of them are not entry level.
This is most likely a temporary situation and all predictions still forcast a nursing shortage
for the future.
I will be monitoring this situation over the longer term.
A Canadian visitor says:
Bev:
I have read the pages on your site, and
just thought you should know, that so far your website has been the most
valuable information tool I have found. It is really hard to find the
right information. I have just enrolled in a diploma program, RPN, and
then I would like to follow through and get my degree.
Thank you again for your time, and for the great site, I am certainly
going to pass it along.
