Saskatchewan could see more nursing vacancies over the next couple of years, but how are things looking here in the Cypress Health Region?

Approximately 2000 nurses around the province are expected to meet requirements for retirement over the next two years, that includes 53 here in the Cypress Health Region.

Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for the health region, Jessica Giesbrecht says while they don't expect all those nurses to retire immediately, they will work to attempt at filling any gaps as they develop...


Fifty-eight new nurses have been recruited since 2009, and Giesbrecht adds recruitment is ongoing.
