Without better pay and meaningful retention strategies to keep staff nurses, the talk about banning private nursing agencies from hospitals is just noise. And we've heard this noise before. Thank you @CBCLorenda @CBCNews for giving me a chance to speak.

A recent preliminary study shows that short bouts of exercise may boost brain performance for several days. So rather than relying on caffeine to give you a mental lift, try hitting the pavement, gym, or dance floor!

[Caryma Sa'd - Lawyer + Political Satirist @CarymaRules]

The majority-PC Party government is pushing through a law allowing chronically ill &/or elderly patients to be moved to long-term care homes without their input.

Anyone refusing a transfer may be on the hook for exorbitant hospital bills.

This is structural coercion.

The post mortem and autopsy reports of my entire family arrived in my inbox today.

My husband, Ed.
My son, Daniel.
My son, Harrison.
My daughter, Milagros.

All because of a fucking drunk driver.

I hate this fucking world

SO angry, I'm shaking. We'd hired movers, to move big furniture to other room. The movers REFUSE to come in, because we asked them to mask (we provide N95s!). We said we have a MEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILD, & they don't give a f*ck. Say "no mandates"! I can't even... #onhealth @nilikm

Every single nurse I spoke to this week is planning on quitting their jobs. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Your brooches are lovely! Are you taking orders?

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

Why is Russia still a member of the @UN Security Council? They are the biggest threat to global security since Hitler. Illegally invaded the 2nd largest country in Europe. Thousands of documented war crimes in #Ukraine️ Not following laws of war. No accountability. Ridiculous!

Love this thread.

Beautiful day out in the riding with area families learning about the environment, animals and stewardship. Thank you for inviting me to this Earth Rangers event.

The nurse called at 11 pm crying & begging her colleague to come in. She was the ONLY nurse for 21 acute care pts! Colleague got out of bed & dragged her tired broken body in after just working 4, 12 hr days. The HC system is collapsing 😔#nursingshortage #onhealth #patientsafety

Doctor shortage in northwestern Ontario remains dire with no clear relief in sight. Physicians burning out from excessive hours, delays in licensing out-of-province doctors also concerns, by @RadioKitching https://t.co/GJwyifDxeC via @cbcnews #onpoli #cdnhealth

Only getting worse!

[Andrew Petrosoniak @petrosoniak]

We keep hearing how our healthcare system is collapsing (which it is). But that does nothing to improve our understanding.

Let’s use a hypothetical emergency department visit to highlight the disaster that is happening every day around the country.

Here’s a thread 🧵:

@3MLittmann My 3200 is less than 2 years old and now my only option is to purchase a new one... :(

[Ally Norton (she/her) @RN_Allycat]

Buy a @3MLittmann 3200 in late 2020 and it's already discontinued with no way to even use the old software. Advice from customer support - "Buy our new model we cannot assist you". What a joke.

Who can help? 🇺🇦

7 pages of post allo-SCT discharge took me 7hrs to translate. Here is what I learned/
