Kamloops nurses celebrated for National Nursing Week
KAMLOOPS — The week of May 9-15 is National Nursing Week.
It’s a chance to celebrate the hard work and dedication that women and men in the profession display on a daily basis.
The job is often made more difficult by chronic under-staffing. In January, the provincial government promised to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March. However, a check on Interior Health’s website shows more than 200 vacant nursing positions within the region.
