When @CFNUPresident Linda Silas presented to the committee one year ago, she shared solutions to the dire working condition facing nurses. In the last year, we've seen too little progress - swift action must follow this report.

#DidYouKnow: Nurses are first mentioned in history through documents during the Roman Empire around 300 A.D.

In this period, hospitals were being built in each town ruled under the Roman Empire, leading to a high requirement for #nurses to provide medical care alongside doctors.

Sask. ERs are collapsing. The safety of care is severely compromised.

This thread is what ER are nurses are reporting.

“We have maxed out every viable option.”
“We have reached a tipping point.”

Many leave each shift in tears, fearful for their patients, exhausted.
