Canada Faces Nurse Shortage



Canada is in the grip of a serious shortage of registered nurses that by all accounts will grow worse in years to come. The most comprehensive national study, published by the Canadian Nurses Association, predicts a shortage in Canada (except Quebec) of between 59 000 and 113 000 by 2011.

Quebec, which has a nurses association separate from the Canadian Nurses Association, predicts its own shortage of 11000 nurses between 2001 and 2015
