by The province is adding another 62 nursing seats at Cape Breton University.
About $3.2 million is being spent on the new first-year seats in CBU’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
The province says that also includes funding that will help the university improve recruitment and retention of students from under-represented groups.

The province says the new seats will ensure a steady intake of nursing students as practicing registered nurses near retirement.
