Awesome, but respectfully its important to know what the timeline is.

These are easy promises to make, every politician is saying the same thing. The big question is where are these 15000 nurses to hire?

Advertise in the states. So many programs are being cut and so many people have other reasons to leave.

They should get some from the US.
Grab the brain drain.

Last Oct I had to take mom to the ER. They jsut had beds lining the hallways, some with curtains, some without. They were so backed up, she spent the night like that. And they still billed her for a private room, full charges for everything. Had been that way since COVID.

I’m so sorry. That’s not right.

Thank u. It was pretty rough. It was just so sad. And there was NO privacy, so the whole thing is a HIPPA violation, and it was just “business as usual”. At least the staff was amazing. THAT really helped

Without nurses, there is no healthcare: https://ontariondp.ca/nurses

We deserve a Premier who will listen to nurses and other frontline healthcare workers and will stop bleeding public funds to private nursing agencies. Our publicly funded healthcare in Ontario is worth saving. It’s time for @maritstilesndp.bsky.social.

OMG everyone is masking in that picture!!!!

canadiantrashpanda.bsky.social•13 days ago

That's typical for a hospital. They ask you to mask up when you enter.

eslfairy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, many hospitals are now back to asking folks to mask to protect staff and patients during flu season.

They're sort of masking. A mask that is 50% effective (surgical) is progress, but a bit of a giveaway re the wearer's competence.

It’s better than nothing at this point. 🤷🏼‍♀️
