Under the new agreement, nurses will receive a 2 per cent lump sum payment instead of a pay increase in the first year and a 2 per cent wage increase in the second year.
SUN president Rosalee Longmore says the new agreement maintains competitiveness with other provinces and is confident it will keep registered nurses in the province.
The new contract expires on March 31, 2014.
