  • Change in the employment relationship
  • Lack of security and commitment

Public sector:

  • Healthcare restructuring occurred in 1990s

Evidence to Policy

Research showed

  • 75 percent of new graduates preferred full-time

employment

  • 35 percent of new graduates were obtaining full-time

positions 6 months after graduation

Need for change

  • New graduate nurses would leave Ontario to seek

employment elsewhere

  • New graduate nurses would leave the profession
