Early Career

Recruiting and retaining early career nurses is imperative for the health and stability of the nursing workforce in Ontario.

Mid Career

The mid-career nurse, under the age of 55 with more than 10 years of experience, represents the largest cohort of nurses in Ontario.

Late Career

The experienced nurse is a valuable asset to the health care team, given her/his years of cultivated expertise and knowledge.

All Nurses

Ontario has developed a Nursing Strategy with the goal of supporting nurses at each stage along the nursing career continuum.

Internationally Educated

The ministry collaborates with various partners to support the integration of Internationally Educated Nurses into Ontario's nursing workforce.

Ontario has been implementing the Nursing Strategy, which is focused on enhanced education, recruitment and retention, and stability in the nursing workforce now and in the future.

”By targeting the unique needs of nurses at various stages in their careers, these key initiatives will help to build a sustainable nursing workforce and produce more professionally satisfying and healthy work environments for all health care providers.
