We have come close on several occasions, but we've always managed to find a patient who can be transferred out, or managed to find a bed," said Jan Currie, chief nursing officer for the WRHA. "Every time you hear about a shooting in Winnipeg, that's an ICU patient," she said. [Karen Hamilton] said her father has been suffering from pneumonia and Seven Oaks Hospital staff initially told her he'd have to be sent outside Canada because the ICU was full.
The heavy construction wages board has recommended a seven to eight per cent wage increase for heavy equipment operators, mechanics, labourers and other workers. TEN YEARS AGO The Brandon Regional Health Centre is trying to use the city's surplus of licensed practical nurses to help alleviate an acute shortage of registered nurses, but it won't be the cure to the problem.
[Lindor Reynolds] writes, "The conference is being run by an established association, features well-respected speakers and could very well lead to improved services to children under the care of Anishinaabe." My question is this: If the conference weren't in Reno or if the attendees were white and the conference was held in Las Vegas would Reynolds have written this article? If the answer is no, then it's obvious Reynolds has some serious questions to ask of herself. The Ontario government's support for Jordan's Principle should inspire the Manitoba government to ensure First Nations children can access all provincial government services on the same terms as other children. The Manitoba government's current interpretation of Jordan's Principle is so narrow that many First Nations childr...
...Feet to the fire. Re: Serious nursing shortage hit (April 24). I am continually amazed when I see... the government for the shortage of nurses or other medical staff in Manitoba. I believe a ch...
We believe that it's a good offer," [Maureen Hancharyk] said Sunday afternoon. "It addresses our number one issue -- competitive wages," she said. "The shortage of nurses is critical in Manitoba. We can't afford to lose anymore. "They'll put those patients on stretchers, sometimes just in the hallway, or my favourite one is on a family medical unit, where they've taken the patient lounge and they've just jammed beds amongst the furniture," [Karen Sadler] said. "You're constantly worried you're going to make a mistake-- that you're going to give the wrong dose, you're going to miss something, you're going to miss an order that can have repercussions, that somebody waiting in emergency, something is going to happen to them while they're waiting," said Juanita Smith, a nurse at Victoria ...
In many articles that I read in the paper regarding the issue of the closure of many rural hospitals due to the shortage of nurses are primarily based on interviews from mayors of the rural towns, physicians, and the "bigwigs" of nursing. There is a substantial amount of nurses who are able to retire in the next few years, as well as new grads that are moving to other provinces that can accommodate them better in regards to wage increases and providing full time jobs.
As the story took hold in the media, the NDP unleashed a tidal wave of rapid-response policy. Then Health Minister Dave Chomiak pumped $1 million into cardiac surgery and ordered a wholesale review of cardiac care. The province flew in cardiac surgeons from other provinces to help clear waiting lists. Chomiak was quoted as saying he was shocked when he learned other patients had died prior to [Diane Gorsuch] because he hadn't been told. Given that the opposition Tories had been hammering away at the issue of waiting lists and cardiac care for some time, it never seemed plausible that the minister of health would not have heard about a growing problem with the cardiac surgery waiting list. Second, why did Manitoba fly in surgeons? The WRHA told reporters the cardiac waiting list had grow...

Jan Currie, chief nursing officer for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, said the region is struggling to recruit nurses for specialized areas like critical and intensive care, since many new nurses don't have the training that's required to work there. Recently, the region has encouraged more nurses to get the training they need to work in the specialties and has paired less experienced nurses with a mentor for a day. Some of them burn out and they still come to work because they don't want to leave their friends on the unit because there's a shortage of nurses to fill those positions," O'[Brien-Pallas] said.
Twenty-five in-patient surgical beds on the second floor of the facility's General Centre have sat empty since late June, temporarily "blocked off" due to a shortage of available nurses, says Bev Cumming, the RHA's vice-president of acute care.
Mayor William Wilton, who proposed yesterday that Brandon's Maple Leaf Aviation Ltd. should try to get flying rights between some Prairie points, says that the idea of running an airline out of Brandon "is not as difficult as it may sound." An acute nursing shortage has left nurses at the Brandon Regional Health Centre feeling frustrated, tired and burnt out, says a union representative.
Manitoba Health Minister Theresa Oswald said the government has been working with nurses since 1999 to train more students and keep them in the province. Oswald said the report shows the recruitment is working, and the province needs to continue their aggressive efforts to attract and educate more nurses in Manitoba. The nurses tell me that many of the units are being run on overtime," said Maureen Hancharyk, president of the Manitoba Nurses' Union. "There's still a significant shortage. "Five to 10 years from now are these nurses going to retire in a mass exodus?" [Paul Sajan] said. "We don't know what's going to happen."
