Funds will help train hundreds of new nurses

The last two years have shown that we need a robust healthcare system for our economy to prosper. The recent announcement that the province is funding 602 new spaces at post-secondary schools to train nurses is welcome news.

• Camosun College is getting 16 new seats for Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses, starting in 2023.
• The University of Victoria is getting five new seats for Nurse Practitioners and a pathway for Master's Degree in Nursing, starting this September.
