Calgary nurse shortage predicted

Calgary could face a shortage of nurses by 2012, documents suggest, just as the city's new billion-dollar hospital is set to open.
Internal Alberta Health Services documents obtained by the CBC predict a shortage of nearly 2,000 nurses in Calgary by next year, causing concern for the city's new $1.3-billion South Calgary Health Campus that is set to open in 2012.
