Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is really no shortcut to the kind of experience that may prepare a nurse to deal with the inevitable situations that might arise in a small community. Some of it is learned as you go.

The practicum is something which is attached to the actual nurse training. The mentorship is where they would work one-on-one with an experienced nurse for a period of time. After that, there is still a necessity for nurses to get a certain amount of experience to give them the kind of competencies and kind of background that would probably enable them to meet any situation. There is no way of shortcutting the experience that would lead to that. Thank you.
