WINNIPEG The provincial government is looking to get more nursing students into Manitoba and is also working to get internationally educated nurses licensed. The government announced Thursday it plans to add 400 new nursing education seats throughout Manitoba over the next few years. Manitoba has around 800 nursing seats throughout six post-secondary schools and the intake for the first group of new seats will start during the 2021-22 school year. Heather Stefanson, the minister of Health and Seniors Care, said these new seats will help increase the number of nurses available to work at hospitals in the years to come. We can accelerate the entry of prospective students into the nursing profession, said Stefanson.
