Nearly two-and-a-half years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, one front-line nurse says emergency rooms are stretched thin amid constant staffing shortages.

Statistics Canada reported

A survey conducted by the Canadian Union of Public Employees this year found that 87 per cent of 2,600 registered practical nurses in hospitalsafter facing poor working conditions and abuse from patients' families. The ICU nurse said she had to pull a 16-hour shift last week as there was no other nurse to take over caring for a critically ill patient.

Talk talk talk and nobody does anything, Canadian health care once the envy of the world now its just a joke

Worse is yet to come no amount of tax payer dollars thrown at this will work

How old is that picture. I recall seeing the same from 2020...

If province runs hospitals, should not cities charge the province and/or hospitals for the time Paramedics remain in the hospitals waiting longer than 1 hour maximum. I think that only be fair, as why should city tax bills foot the bill for a provincial ineptitude.

I think it is safe to say that there is no truth anymore. We need to reanalyze what our realities are. A big shout out to Justin Trudeau, Klaus, and the mainstream media for that. Among others of course.

Nobody wants to talk about 1. The unvaccinated banned from working 2. The tens of thousands pretending to be sick and getting 2 weeks off with pay 3. The tens of thousands pretending to have stress or 'long covid' and getting 2 years off with pay. cdnpoli cdnhealth

To people wondering why there are staff shortages, here’s a 🧵 for your consideration As you read it, ask yourself: is this “because of COVID” or “because of hospital administrators’ inability to get past March 2020 thinking” You be the judge

Almost seems as tho firing nurses had the very effects you were trying to mitigate. Good job Canada. Good job. And before you give me the 'provinces dictate medical BS' realize this is a Canada problem, as it fucks us all and has been a coordinated effort

Are unvaccinated going to be hired back?

Walk to the nearest hospital to you. N you find out it isn't true.

EndTheMandates

That means the govts plan is working

They'll use this as an excuse to privatize... Wait for it. They've bankrupt our health care on covid 'IDEAS' wasting large sums of money.

The staffing shortage is because nurses are quitting What about the nurses that were let go? How many were sent home because of their decision not to get vaccinated?

It’s the union’s not getting enough dues!!

What is making it get worse? Why is the shortage getting worse? COVID? Quitting? What is it? Love to see the numbers broken down. How can it be fixed if we don’t know these basics?

The Resignations must happen before the Great Reset can take place or there is nothing to Reset

Provincial Government incompetence

And what is CDNMinHealth doing?

I remember my father was in hospital hall way for 2 days during the McGuinty/Wynne reign of incompetence

It seems like this problem will always exist because this problem has always existed

I have no sympathy for nurses. My son passed away from esophageal cancer 2 years ago. Nothing 2 do with smoking. He wanted to go outside for a smoke. He couldn’t smoke barely hold a cigarette the nurse actually said enjoy your smoke. Passed away next day.

ffs ... this picture is 2 1/2 years old... get real

Maybe you shouldnt have fired all of them for being unvaccinated

Canada paid BILLIONS for vaccines that don't work like vaccines should. Boosters keep the lie alive. To bad CBCNews GlobalNational doesn't report what is really going on.

It’s been like this for decades.

Talk to Trudeau and ask him why he isn’t paying the healthcare transfers he promised in the election but then again he would rather give it to another country to buy a image that his daddy would look up to🤮

Are healthy doctors and nurses still barred from returning? People died and suffered because of unscientific mandates.

Go figure. Unvaccinated staff fired, staff having SADS just after 2nd booster roll out(not related), and more staff quitting from stress. On a system that was already stretched before the pandemic. No media asking hard journalistic questions, just reports 'staff shortages'

I know a few nurses who switched careers due to being over worked, stressed out with poor working conditions, this was before Covid and the firing of unvaccinated workers.

Hire back the staff u fired then!!

Meanwhile, there are trained foreign doctors and nurses wanting to come to work in Canada but due to Fed Govt policies, they cannot get in.

Reading the comments in here really make you lose hope for humanity.

Another lie.

🇨🇦Gang members get to go ahead of the line up.

You fired thousands to appease a bunch of hypochondriacs and their mental health issues Congratulations branch covidians you own this!

Reset

SylviaJonesMPP fordnation start by forcing hospitals to hire back unvaccinated workers then fast track the licensing of foreign HCWs

Hire back all the nurses that were fired.

CTV is silent about health transfers to provincial governments when he promised he would increase them in the last election. You blame provincial governments saying it’s their fault when we all know our healthcare system is bankrupt because of Trudeau but he can 1/2

Gee, and who created the staff shortages?

OHIP has collapsed because of insane amounts of immigration, it's obvious

Guess that’s what happens when you fire people for not taking an experimental jab 🤪
