Shared Health, which oversees health-care delivery in the province, confirmed travelling nurses will no longer be paid a mileage rate on a per-kilometre basis, and travel time reimbursement is capped at a maximum of four hours each way.
That's a quick way to ensure few nurses will want to work out in the sticks.
