A record pass rate that will help with
the current shortage in our province. That's the news coming from the
Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association as 81 percent of first
time writers from the Philippines passed the Canadian Registered
Nurse Exam. This is good news considering the numbers from last year
showed only about one out of every two nurses were passing the exam.
Executive Director of the SRNA Donna
Brunskill says the low scores had to do with Canada's high standards
for registered nurses. "Typically in the past
Saskatchewan has not attracted a lot of registered nurses. When they
did come here, Canada has solid nursing RN standards... and so out of
country nurses would not do as well when they would right our exams."
The nurses are being brought in to help
with the nurse shortage in the province.
