- The new report is based on a fall 2023 survey of Ontario-based IENs who are not working as nurses; this group is seldom represented in health care workforce data.
- Among more than 750 survey respondents, some 50 percent said they intended to apply for nursing registration but had not yet begun the process.
- “The survey results provide evidence to support a focus on those IENs who have not yet even begun the registration journey,” said WES Board member Paolo Varias.
