Nova Scotia sets nurse-to-patient ratios to address staffing shortages and improve patient care.
Nova Scotia will become Canada's second province to set nurse-to-patient ratios, following British Columbia. The ratios aim to address staffing shortages, burnout, and improve patient care by providing a clear formula for determining the number of nurses needed 24/7 based on unit requirements. This initiative is expected to boost recruitment of healthcare workers from other provinces.
