Nurses go National

According to an article in the Vancouver Sun, starting in April 2009 nurses, doctors, teachers and other professionals will be able to work in any province in Canada without having to go through additional exams. Great news! I am especially glad about the prospect of not having to go through the Quebec exam which is notoriously brutal:-).

I saw this mentioned in the BC History of Nursing Society's January newsletter.
