"It was quite shocking for us," said UNA's David Harrigan. He said unlike other sectors the demand for health care has only increased through the pandemic and that a shortage of nurses was causing bed closures. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed… #abhealth #ableg
On Sunday, AHS said a nursing shortage has forced the Rocky Mountain House Health Centre to close six acute care beds. Hospital beds have also been closed in Galahad, Elk Point, Cold Lake, St. Paul, Leduc due to nursing shortages. reddeeradvocate.com/news/nursing-s… #abhealth #ableg
Finance Minister Travis Toews is cherry-picking the numbers that he thinks will advance his case against Alberta nurses.

Every profession in Alberta is paid higher than comparator provinces — we used to call that the Alberta advantage. #abhealth #ableg
