nurse education are identified and an overview of the entry of new nurses into the workforce is provided. Based on a survey of new graduands, a profile of new nurses is presented. In addition, the employment market for newly graduated nurses is compared across Canada and provincial strategies for hiring new graduates are reviewed. [introduction]
