"Northern nursing is a demanding and rewarding opportunity for personal and professional growth. Nurses work closely with diverse northern communities providing care to everyone from newborns to elders."
Bayshore currently has several nursing opportunities available in Nunavut, including:
- Home Care Nurse
- Community Health Nurse
- Nurse Practitioners
- Public Health Nurse
- Mental Health Nurse
