Was so excited to learn that a #LTC I am close to is implementing @RNAO#BPG for oral health for all residents. So proud to be a member of @RNAO & 20 yrs of improving patient & resident care through evidence-based best practice guidelines. Join the BPG movement today #onhealth
New grad ER nurse recd a call w/devastating news about his friend. He was shaken. The nurse manager responded by sending the nurse home w/bereavement leave. A #traumainformed approach to leadership is a very effective retention strategy. #retentiontoolkit#respect#NurseTwitter
WooHoo! Received my edition of “Breaking Canadians”. I can’t wait to read the NB stories by my colleagues & community advocates. TY @nilikm for asking me to be part of this collection, & @RNAO, @CFNU, & @ontarionurses for providing the data #NurseTwitter#onhealth#cdnhealth
ON may have more nurses BUT MORE are leaving. WHY?
We work critically short
We are overworked
We are underpaid
We are harassed & assaulted, &
The govt is suing us over #Bill124.

Food item costs have skyrocketed by as much 50% & reports suggest prices will continue to escalate in 2023. But @fordnation will appeal #Bill124 which suppresses nurses’ salary to < 1%. And they wonder where have all the #nurses gone? #salarymatters#competitivecompensation

Happy Friday and good morning to the incredible CUPE education workers fighting back against the Ontario government's cruel & mean-spirited attacks.
As you begin your strike today, remember: Today & everyday, the people of Ontario stand with you. ✊🏾
#IStandWithCUPE
The government has stripped:
1. nurses rights
2. teachers rights
3. Education workers rights
Yes @Sflecce#EnoughlsEnough. Enough of this Ford government overreach and abuse of power.
I stand with #CUPE#IStandWithCUPE
Nurses can learn a thing or two here.
The Ontario government recently gave 43 of their MPPs a $16,000 raise, bringing their salary to $132,500/year.
So why are they refusing to provide a decent wage to Ontario’s lowest paid education workers, who make $39,000/year & are just asking for a $3.25/hour raise to survive?
Whoa! 4 litres of milk today $5.69. Just months ago, $4.19. An increase of 36% w/an overall inflation rate of 7%. But @fordnation believes #nurses deserve just a 1% wage increase over 3 years. How do we live? So disrespectful & misogynistic #wageoppression#RepealBill124#onpoli
Nurses are always taught how to care for and advocate for patients.
We were never taught how to advocate for ourselves or practice self-care. In fact, the first time I recall hearing the term self care was during the pandemic.
