Currently Saskatchewan has about 600 vacant registered nurse positions, said SRNA executive director Donna Brunskill, explaining while the first priority should be to hire Saskatchewan RNs, the health regions should pursue recruiting opportunities in Alberta.
Brunskill was responding to media reports coming out of Alberta that nursing managers in Calgary were being laid off and that the health authority in Edmonton is suggesting there is a glut of registered nurses in that province.
