The nursing profession is on the brink of new opportunities. Recent health care reforms are shifting the focus of care from the hospital to the community. The health care needs of the population are growing.
Nurses provide health care which means that employment opportunities always exist.
Recent studies by the Canadian Nurses Association and the Ordre des Infirmieres et Infirmiers du Quebec demonstrate a significant shortage of nurses which is anticipated to continue into the near and distant future. Health care institutions are actively recruiting Vanier nursing graduates and job offers abound. Canadian nurses have an excellent reputation locally and internationally. A recent change is in where nurses practice. Nurses work wherever the members of our society need health care.
