The professional order that regulates nursing in the province says it granted 2,864 licences between April 2022 and March 2023 compared to 3,565 a year before.
Premier François Legault believes the province will reach an agreement with teachers by the end of the week, but says talks are at a standstill with the health-care sector.
The health-care workers' walkout overlaps with other strikes, meaning more than 550,000 people are on the picket line across the province this week.
