The Northern Health Authority says that 19 positions for nurses have been offered at a recent Employment forum held in Manchester, England, with another 24 nurses expressing interest.
It will take about six months to get them through the immigration process.
Most are specialty nurses who want to work in the Pacific northwest of BC for Northern Health says CEO Malcolm Maxwell. "We are very pleased at what we have been able to accomplish in the recruiting process."
Right now, Northern Health has 65 full time vacancies for nurses.
