Nova Scotia: Changes to Hiring Travel Nurses February 14 2024
To help create more stability in healthcare and long-term care, the government of Nova Scotia announced that travel nurses working for Nova Scotia Health, IWK Health or government-funded long-term care facilities can only be hired for a maximum of 180 days. Travel nurses must wait one year before they can be assigned to work as a travel nurse for these government institutions again.
Further, nurses graduating from post-secondary institutions in Nova Scotia cannot work as travel nurses in the province for one year following graduation.
