Not really, I'd say, visible minority + new grads in most clinical settings where you could see most of the dirtiest and physically challenging tasks. In terms of the Caucasian or native Canadian nurses and their positions, in most cases they will be elevated/promoted to higher positions such as nurse educators or managers or whatever after several years of dogfights at the bottom level. The reality can be darn dark in nursing. That's why the stats show nearly 50% new grads will leave this profession in about one year or so after graduation. Suck it up or run away. This is the reality.
