Is this where the majority of hours are worked? Because the way I understand the scheme, it’s the facilities that have no other choice but to hire agency staff where the growth is. Like hospitals.
Ah, do facilities hire private nurses? Like traveling nurses? I had only heard the term “private nurse” as in one who is privately hired to work in the home.
Edit: Ah, they do indeed, I have now read the article, apologies. I read private nurses and assumed it meant in home nurses. It seems in Canada the term applies to travel nurses or agency nurses.

“Private” here is being used to mean “private sector”, not “personal”.
Yes I get that now, in Australia the term “private nurse” is used exclusively as far as I know to refer to private in home nurses.
If I google “private nurses Australia” it is clear this is the case, and a company I have worked through is one of the top results.
If I google “private nurses Canada” the results all refer to agency nurses like the above article.
My mistake, I made an assumption without actually reading the article before commenting.
