None of this is okay

FILTER BY:

I’ve had two dog bites. We deserve the knowledge about the home we are walking into. The supplies? Is there a pet? Is there a snowbank blocking the door? People are getting hurt.

— Community Nurse

We now have city patients coming out to the rural centres because they think wait times are better, but we are not built to handle the influx. We often don’t have the resources to manage, and the pressure is mounting.

— Southern Nurse

We are in a healthcare profession, and we are abusing the mental and physical health of our staff.

— Flin Flon Nurse

Let’s grey list this whole damn province!

— The Pas Nurse

Difficulty is an understatement. The government’s poor planning is wreaking havoc here…

— Southern Nurse

When you are outside the perimeter, in order to provide safe care, the medical staff are forced to care for patients and pull records. And after 1900, the nurse becomes the maintenance man, the cook. You name it.

— Northern Nurse

I just have to say kudos to the nurses at HSC who have shown the rest of us in this province it’s time to speak up, stand up and vote. Until that happens, even if our Employer wanted to do the right thing, they need the funds to make that happen.

— Northern Nurse

We’ve hired 800 nurses?! Yeah right. How many have been hired and left before their 6 months are up?

— Gimli Nurse

We used to be so vibrant. We used to have resources, therapeutic groups and activities. This is such a loss for our residents.

— Selkirk Nurse

I can’t exist like this anymore. Where is the damn government?!

— HSC Nurse

It’s time to take action! From the hospital to community, we are NOT being kept safe. In fact, the Personal Care Home is a perfect example. There are no cameras in or outside the facility. There have been times when lean-to shelters pop up against the residents’ windows. This is not fair for our seniors on the other side of those windows.

— Northern Nurse

We need more than one wound care nurse in the North. The population depends on it. One nurse to service the entire area is not adequate. The catchment areas are just so geographically large, and the number of patients with diabetes and amputations needing wound care is expanding.
