"This report is the result of a study commissioned by the Yukon College President's Committee (PCOP) for Health Programs. The purpose ofthte study was two-fold: 1. To clearly define the labour market need in the Yukon for Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs); and 2. To determine the feasibility and extent to which local education should be provided to potential students. . . The conclusion reached in Phase 1 of the study was that significant numbers of nurses will be required in the future in the Yukon to fill vacancies created by retirements, resignations and new positions being established. As a result of that finding, the study proceeded in Phase 2 to determine the feasibility of local nursing educational options." (from Introduction)
