Corner Brook nurses protest mandated overtime in struggling health-care system

A registered nurse working in Stephenville says the two hours of commuting a day is more than worth it to avoid mandatory overtime and working in what she calls a broken system.

Maria Young was one of dozens of nurses at a rally in Corner Brook on Tuesday demanding the provincial government eliminate mandated overtime and support nurses working in the provincial health-care system as emergency rooms across Newfoundland and Labrador face extraordinary pressure.
