Hospital Experiencing a Nursing Shortage

Lake of the Woods District Hospital says its would like to see more nurses trained here in northwestern Ontario.

The hospital is currently experiencing a nursing shortage.

Leslie Brown is the head of patient care and says a nursing program offered jointly by Confederation College and Lakehead University has been a bonus, but they need the course to be run on a more regular basis.

Brown says they have begun to advertise for full and part time nursing positions both locally and across the region.
