The New Brunswick Nursing Resource Strategy working for you!

The province of New Brunswick is committed to renewing health care and ensuring New Brunswickers have better access to the province’s health care system. Better planning for health human resources is an important part of that commitment.

Government has been working closely with the nursing profession to recognize the professionalism of nursing and to develop a broad long-term nursing resource plan. Our goal is to have enough nursing resources in the future to meet our growing health care needs.
