Nearly 75 per cent of the network’s vacant nursing positions are in Acadie-Bathurst, Restigouche, which includes Campbellton and Dalhousie, and the Northwest zone, with includes Edmundston and Grand Falls, according to data as of Sept. 30.
Still, at the network’s board meeting this week, CEO France Desrosiers said the team has broken recruitment records the past three years.
