Forty percent of nurses in Canada leave the job before they turn 35 years old, a new study has found.

The report, published on Sept. 24 by the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI), said that for every 100 Canadian nurses who started working in the field in 2022, 40 percent of nurses below the age of 35 quit. The number has increased 25 percent since 2013.
