Dear Hon. Andrew Furey, Hon. Tom Osborne, and Hon. Siobhan Coady:

Health care is on life support, and we are all affected. The situation is critical for Newfoundland and Labrador’s Registered Nurses – and that’s bad news for everyone.

Hospitals are regularly overcapacity. Long term care beds sit empty because there are no staff.

Emergency Room closures and impossibly long wait times.

Unprecedented backlogs of surgeries and other procedures can’t be cleared. People in our communities are left waiting for vital public health services and care.

Registered nurses face this crisis every day, while dangerously understaffed and overworked.

With skyrocketing rates of burnout, these highly educated and trusted professionals are now walking away from full time jobs or leaving the profession altogether.

For years, they have been raising the alarm. Now, our health care system is losing some of our most highly skilled and experienced nurses at an alarming rate. In fact, by this time next week – 8 more RNs will have left.

How can our system provide safe conditions for patients when we have over 750 RN vacancies?

We all deserve better.

The health care system is Beyond Broken.

But it’s not beyond repair.

I stand with the Registered Nurses’ Union of Newfoundland and Labrador and all RNs and NPs fighting for change.

Fixing health care means fixing the nursing shortage.

We must stabilize the nursing workforce and retain our current registered nurses and negotiating a contract with competitive salaries because right now our RNs and NPs are the lowest paid in Canada. It means improving quality of life, creating safe workplaces, improving access to leave, and providing additional support to new graduates and students.

It’s time to end the critical nursing crisis and protect public health care – for our families, our communities, and our future.

The reality is simple: 
Without registered nurses, health care will fail.

Sincerely,
