This @globeandmail investigation digs deep into one private staffing agency's shocking profits and unaccounted for expenses. One example: $1.6-million of taxpayer $ went to meal allowances, even though nurses were required to bring their own food.

The nursing crisis in our province affects us all. Health care is beyond broken, but it's not beyond repair.

I'm sad. Very sad. We lost a nurse colleague to suicide. Our hearts are broken. So many questions. We are mourning. Crying through our shifts while still caring for patients & working short-staffed.
Please check on nurses. Fight for nurses. We wonder who else is struggling 😢

“I was mandated to come back after a night shift, given less than 4 hours to rest. This happened while I was pregnant. I did not feel safe for myself, for my patients or for my unborn child. I could not refuse as I was the only RN on the floor. We deserve better.”

We're tired. But we're not giving up.
On our profession or our patients.
We're still here. And we won't be silenced.
