The provincial government will match a 350-thousand dollar contribution from the Nurses Association of New Brunswick to go towards two PhD scholarships for nurses from the province.
Health Minister Victor Boudreau says it’s a special way of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Nurses Association of New Brunswick.
Boudreau says the scholarships will be a great way to encourage nurses from the province to get their PhD, which will allow them to do even more research in New Brunswick.
He says the the financial support being given to two nurses through the scholarships will have a vast impact on patients, their families and communities in the province.
