The economic crisis and nursing.
As Federal and Provincial governments wrestle with the economic crisis, Ministries of Health in every province are frantically and systematically introducing actions and major reforms to curb escalating health care expenditures. The reforms that are being introduced with an alarming speed are less of a threat to nurses than they are to doctors. The impending battles over professional turf will ultimately shape the nature and design of the new systems. This crisis constitutes an opportunity for nurses to become engaged in the reform process and thus shape the health care delivery system to their advantage.
