There has been a recent study done that shows the rise in Nurse Practitioners in Canada. In the past five years there are more NPs than ever. NPs usually tend to "replace" the position of family doctors in rural areas as well as move to places with more job security. There has to be some concerns though, right? NPs are leaving community practices and moving on to hospitals and long-term care. Benefits and higher security are the main reasons for moving. For more information and a better sight on the NPs, check out this article in The Globe and Mail.
