Global: 48% of new Alberta nurses leave profession before they turn 35: report
Nearly 48 per cent of nurses in Alberta under the age of 35 left the profession in 2022 and health-care systems right across Canada are struggling to hold onto young nurses, according to a new report.
The study by the Montreal Economic Institute shows that for every 100 nurses who started working in the field in 2022, 47.7 of them under the age of 35 quit. That’s up four per cent from 2013, according to the study.

The study suggests that work-life balance is a big contributing factor. Some of the biggest concerns from nurses include lack of control over their work schedules, mandatory overtime and a lack of shift flexibility.
âŽ
In comparison with other provinces, Alberta ranks fourth when it comes to the proportion of young nurses leaving the profession, sitting behind New Brunswick (80.2 per cent), Nova scotia (60.4 per cent) and Newfoundland and Labrador (50.3 per cent).

The biggest news of the show was Orion, a prototype for holographic AR glasses.

This change is now even more apparent on LG Smart TVs, where ads are appearing in places you wouldnât expectâsuch as the screensaver.

In comparison, Apple TV 4K remains one of the few options for viewers who prefer an ad-free experience.
Don’t buy LG anything! How long before they start putting ads on peoplesâ smart phones?
