Nova Scotia hospital officials warn strained health system needs changes
Description
June 17, 2022
Nova Scotia health is short, nearly 2,000 nurses across the province, while the region's children's hospital has 80 vacancies -- and that number is expected to grow. Officials inside the hospitals warn things need to be done differently to try to preserve the strained system. Callum Smith brings part two of a three-part series shining a light on recruitment and retention challenges for healthcare.
