The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses President Rosalee Longmoore says the needs for nurses in the province will get worse.
Longmoore said the province needs to be planning for the future as up to 1,600 nurses could retire in the next year.
“We need to be bringing in new graduates knowing that we have this large number of experienced workforce that are ready to retire at any moment,” said Longmoore.
She said we aren’t losing nurses to Alberta the same way we used to, Saskatchewan's wages are now more competitive.
