What is the difference between the regulatory body for the nursing profession and the nursing labor union?
The labor union acts in the interest of its members, the nurses.The regulatory nursing organization acts in the interest of the public.
From time to time, and under certain conditions these interests conflict so one authority cannot represent the interests of both parties.
Go to the the article on labor unions.Go from this list of nursing organizations to a list of labor unions representing registered nurses in Canada.

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.
