Health Minister Robert Henderson stood in the legislature Friday, providing an update on hiring with the province’s nursing strategy.
He says that since January, Health PEI has hired 64 new graduate nurses, including 13 this November. Another 17 new graduates were hired into casual positions, with at least four more to be offered casual employment over the coming weeks. He says Health PEI is currently recruiting for approximately 100 permanent and temporary nursing position vacancies.
Health PEI released the three-year nursing strategy in April.
