Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services spent $91 million on travel nursing in 2023🤯
As @RNU_NL points out, this undermines efforts to retain and recruit nurses and does nothing to improve working conditions. Govts + employers need to invest in nurses - not profits. https://t.co/16mscX8Oqo #ProfitDoesntCare #cdnhealth #NLpoli
Health care is a human right, not a commodity. So why are private staffing agencies profiting untold millions from the health care staffing crisis? This needs to end. Email your health minister and tell them to invest in sustainable solutions: https://t.co/kK2ZpW1XKO #cdnhealth
“We might be able to recruit nurses but we’re not gonna be able to retain them if working conditions don’t improve.”
Solidarity with @BCNursesUnion members demanding the govt improve conditions & ensure the success of nurse-patient-ratios. #canlab#cdnpoli

The New Brunswick Auditor-General’s report findings on the use of for-profit agencies reveal a critical lack of oversight in the province’s health care spending, underscoring the need for thorough investigations in every province & territory. https://t.co/uJ7vuPUGpR #cdnhealth #canlab #ProfitDoesntCare
An travel nurse agency charged NB Vitalité Health $18,043.42 a day for 5 staff including
3 RNs
2 RPNs
2 virtual staff.
That's about $306/hr for each in-person staff member, according to a provincial audit.
New Brunswick RNs are paid between $36.41 and $46.13 an hour. @CTVNews@LauraBrownCTV #agencynurses #nursing
Hospitals and ambulances have special protection under international humanitarian law. They should never be used for military purposes or be targeted. The CFNU condemns the siege on Gaza and the ongoing targeting of health care workers and infrastructure. The CFNU is calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, and the resumption of delivery of humanitarian services and supplies to the Gaza strip.

This is an atrocity.
We have all lost part of our humanity. We knew this was coming and we didn’t stop it.
Shame on every leader who allows this to continue.
Shame on all of us for failing the people of Gaza.
My work deepens my connection to the community. I’ve always been a proud nurse, and this sector of care is very special to me.
