I was really trying to celebrate this win until I heard that #IENs on Canadian soil, ready to practice are still waiting for their Permanent Residency from Immigration to be able to work. Can someone in immigration please fix this STAT? @CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP@JustinTrudeau
Please start profiling the stories of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) in Canada who are working with Uber, Walmart, McDonald's, due to the discriminatory credentialing processes.
Thank you
We are in the middle of a healthcare crisis with hospitals calling a code orange (disaster from nursing shortage), yet we have IENs on Canadian soil, working in factories. This is a despicable to say the least. Shouldn't be happening in a developed nation...
Seems like no one in govt is seeing the disaster that's happening in health-care 😢. The ER was SIX nurses short on Christmas day, even with triple time and half pay.
Tonight, there's only ONE Registered Nurse on the cardiology floor. ONE. ONE nurse people. Only one showed up.
The morgue is full. Patient's been dead since 5pm but nowhere to put the body. 3 ICU patients waiting in the ER. No ICU nurses to take new critically ill patients. There are empty beds but no nurses. The nursing crisis is harming every aspect of healthcare. Urgent help needed!
My heart is really hurting because I know patients are suffering. I see it. The nurses showing up are broken and tired. Yes I sound like a broken record but this is because nothing has been done. These are human beings for crying out loud. Help us save lives. Pleaseeeeeee 😢
My ICU colleague is currently in her car right in the parking lot, crying. She said she has no energy left to clear the hip of snow on her car. Got to work at 0630am, first break was 1pm, constant chaos, two simultaneous code blue. Had two intubated patients on multiple drips ...
Almost every nurse doubled (ideal should be 1:1), each attempt to go for break meant covering a total of 4 very sick patients. Postponed pee break until near incontinence, was constantly dehydrated from full PPE w/inacessible hydration stations. As if these were not enough....
At shift change, no nurse showed up for handover. Had to stay back till the facility was able to find an agency nurse to take over her patients. This happened at 8pm. Her kids are home waiting with a babysitter while husband goes for night shift...
