Annotation:

This special analytical study estimates the number of registered nurses (RNs) aged 50 or older that could leave the Canadian nursing workforce by 2006. Using data from the Registered Nurses Database (RNDB) at CIHI, this study calculates the potential number of losses of registered nurses to retirement or death, and measures the impact upon different nursing employment sectors and regions of the country.
