Ten students who expected to be working as licensed practical nurses by the spring have had their education stopped short.
The students are enrolled at Vancouver Career College in Abbotsford, and things had been going along well throughout the year. But just a few hours into their clinical placements, it all ended due to staffing shortages.
Five of the students were set up to do their clinical work at Chilliwack General Hospital (CGH), and five at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH).
