title: The market for nurses - we've come a long way.
abstract: The oldest and largest segment of nursing manpower is the diploma educated R.N. This year, several thousand R.N.'s across the country are actively seeking work and are unable to find it. Many of these unemployed nurses are in the province of Ontario. A look at the Ontario experience in the area of nursing manpower offers some interesting insights into developments in other provinces and territories.
