Nursing is a profession that never goes out of style. Yet, the New Brunswick nursing shortage is still a real problem. There are many reasons why this shortage has occurred, but Oulton College in New Brunswick is doing its part to make sure this trend doesn’t continue.
New Brunswick is one of the provinces hit by a nursing shortage.
You may be surprised to learn that there is a nursing shortage in New Brunswick—and Canada as a whole.
