I’m a nursing student (studying in Quebec) and really jaded about the working conditions… I’m not convinced I want this to be my career anymore. My clinical experience has opened my eyes at just how bad nurses have it. You work so hard to get through school and it doesn’t get better once you’re a working professional it seems.
Doctors do less now and nurses do more. Doctors used to write their own notes and records! Now nurses have to do it all,… plus nursing the care of patients!
I think she raises good points. Nurses are no longer nuns nor volunteer charity help for sick people, that today's nurse is a well educated professional. Perhaps it is time for a revision and redefinition. For starters the title of 'nurse' should become something like 'Level 2 Doctor' to recognize their educational expertise and elevate perspective working conditions.
I worked as a Nurse for nearly 20 years. I will say that Nursing is the most exploited, abused and neglected of any profession that I'm aware of. The primary reason why, is that Nursing is a female dominated profession. I worked for a municipal employer who also ran long term care facility. The workforce in long term care was 70% Part Time, yet other departments within the same municipal corporation like police and fire departments were virtually 100% Full Time employment. I remember asking the Fire Chief several years ago, how many Part Time Fire Fighters were there. His answer has stuck with me ever since. He said, "There's no such thing as a Part Time Fire Fighter." It was always an uphill battle with regards to any collective agreement improvements such as wage increases and benefits. The employers response was often along the lines that these health care workers can use the benefits of their husbands. This was obviously on the sexist assumption that all of these health care workers were married. We have two young daughters. We are doing everything that we can to encourage them not to go into Nursing.
I know this does not mean much but Thank YOU! For all you have been through to help the rest of us. We know it is the nurses giving most of the care not the Drs.
As a registered nurse in the states, I believe this was well presented. I went through a strike in 2000 into 2001. Hospitals will continue to staff using mandatory overtime because they can. It’s cheaper to mandate than to pay for benefits when they hire more nurses. Government running health care is not what’s best for patients. Things got worse when they took over. The emphasis went from patient care to charting. I left and went into a line of work outside the hospital. Best decision I’ve ever made. Wish you nurses in Canada the best.
Question; if there are more nurses than ever, how is forced overtime a thing? That doesn't make sense. It's cheaper to pay for 3 8hr shifts at normal time, than it is to pay 2 shifts 12 hrs. with 4 hrs of overtime, no? If there are excess nurses out there, how could they not fill 3 8 hr shifts? This makes no economic sense.
@@allayneoreilly4677 This was mentioned in the video. There lots qualified nurses in Qc, but most are not willing to work for hospitals where working conditions are bad. Instead they work in the private sector. At the end of the day the gov is spending more to outsource these nursing services.

I’m not sure why getting medical help in Quebec is so difficult… this happened long before Covid. I have family that moved there and they had to wait a year to get a Dr. When I wanted to visit they said don’t come because if you get sick you won’t be able to go to the emergency Dept fir 2 days. I was stunned! I can’t visit because of lack of a proper medical system. We as Canadians should be able to access medical care no matter what province we are in. Now even here in BC we’re facing Drs shortages… many can no longer get a family Dr they don’t have family practices anymore… snd many family Drs won’t do hospital rounds either… what is wrong? Why should we have to travel hours to see a specialist that we’ve waited almost 1-2 yrs to get an appointment. We can’t loose our beloved system… we need better working conditions… we’re going to see more private medical healthcare where those who can afford it to get faster medical care… we can’t let that happen. Please our government Federal and Provincial along with the medical system need to come together and develop a better system. What saddens me is that this was going on long before Covid.. Covid only brought it to the forefront… we need to realize this has been happening long before Covid. I know because I was in hospital a lot and I saw first hand the struggles… just to get even a bed… we need to save our healthcare system. Stop making it political!
These are all problems caused directly by a publicly funded healthcare system under government management. The Provincial and federal government are already spending money the country doesn’t have. The only way to sustain our healthcare system is either increase taxes by a large margin across the board(which would destroy the middle class) or allow a healthy balance of both private and public healthcare. This would take the enormous strain off the public system and increase quality of care across the board.
@@wholesomelunch6576 Plenty of countries with publicly funded healthcare that are better managed than ours, France comes to mind, and many other countries in Europe and Asia, that's where we should look at.

I have never worked so many forced overtime shifts in my career. My unit is constantly short 2 to 4 nurses every shift. So I'm staying double shifts after working all night. The beds are all open and people don't stop having heart attacks.
Natalie Stake-Doucet could be a Norwegian union representative. She is saying the same as the president of the Norwegian Nurse Association is saying and as we, the nurses, have been saying for decades, too. Nursing is not a vocation, it is hard work done by very skilled people, who are not seen and heard as such by the society at large, and politicians especially.
Wow- my husband, RN, has never had to stay an extra shift. He would not stand for that either. He always gets called in when he has his once a month “on-call” shift though.
It’s very sad, I live in the states and have quit my job as staff RN to do Agency making $20 more, I get to work less and make my schedule day by day or weeks at a time and work in different facilities that I choose. Best decision I’ve made but still sad that I had to do that. The only thing I miss is getting to know the nursing staff, residents and families that a staff nurse gets to do.
If existing Nurses leave, the other Nurses who remains to stay would have to take up the extra work. So if Nurses leaves, they are not doing their colleagues any favors.
I recently was a patient in a hospital I’m not sure if this type of situation was going on but I felt as a patient I wasn’t being heard I was in pain and I had to press the call bell a lot and sometimes no one would come, even the doctor was at a desk in front of a computer when I told him I was in pain he blurted out I don’t have time for you and he was my doctor. I felt so horrible I just wanted to leave but I couldn’t I was I. Too much pain.
Wait til we get older your in for a surprise people wait til u get in the nursing home supposed care when it’s complete neglect no care whatsoever even rehab is neglect neglect neglect o well better have a family member who is willing to take on the job or your screwed
Who would even want to be a nurse or doctor anymore. They silence what you believe in. Take this or youre fired? Nice respect considering they put their lives on the line while being unvaccinated for over a year.
After years of dedicated work, all I have to show for my service is a lousy social security check and a back that needs surgery. I’ve worked in the 5 star facilities as a traveling nurse and I helped the state with a few closures of some LTC facilities. The excellent facilities had everything to do with excellent management and the nightmare facilities were ran by those who possessed depraved indifference to the workers and patients, much like the hospitals.
You are soooo right. I am telling all my young relatives to please take care of yourselves. It's so scary and I pray for improvement. You make a very good point. Thank you 😊
Nursing unions seek max 1.5% raises per year. Teachers unions, in Ontario received over 3% percent year for the last 15 years plus. Do the math, way underpaid are nursing jobs. They cannot strike or work to rule. Unions are pathetically weak but tough on nursing staff. Nothing changes until the unions change. And of course the public will then pay drastically more taxes for health-care. Is the public prepared.
It's time for ALL Nurses to be hired by 'agencies' and have the hospitals use these agencies so Nurses can work 'fairer' hours with more respect. Damn shame when bureaucracy gets in the way. How many managers; overseers and 'paper-pushers', actually are working regular hours in a hospital? What is the ratio of management-to-Nurses? What is the ratio of Nurses-to-patients? What is the ratio of management-to-patients? Nurses deserve higher pay; respectful working conditions and paid voluntary-overtime, when needed. (Emphasis on *VOLUNTARY)*
Sounds like a reasonable idea, but you have to understand that the education and knowledge from these out of the country nurses in the 2nd and 3rd world is nowhere near par for 1st world healthcare systems. It is actually scary to think about. They would really need retraining.
I live in Gatineau, the nurses in Gatineau are the single most disenfranchised from their work. I have never felt so shrugged off and just they clearly don't care.
It's been an issue for 20 years its getting worse and going to peak in 2035. There is not enough nurses graduating either. Nurses require advanced education (4 yrs University plus another 2 to work in ER/icu) we aren't just catr providers we coordinate all your care we require to know everyone's job in Healthcare because we are the ones there when no one else is (ie pharmacy, dieticuan, physio, plus advocate medically - knowing what to say to doctor as u know what is likely wrong w ur patients)
@@jsnx9067 where exactly are you getting your information? because just about every hospital in Ontario is at maximum capacity right now. My local hospital is in Code Gridlock, which literally means they cannot admit any patients as there literally is not one empty bed. Keep spreading false information though. I tell you, whatever goes on in your small simple delusional mind should be studied for science.
I have seen the care go down because they are so tire. 5 patients per nurse and that's to much so the level of care is horrible. I have seen this since my mom has been in hospital 7 months now all because of covid... so u need to change the system
No one talking about CNA. It’s grueling job. Given 10-13 load per shift. Managers expecting them to attend to all direct care of patients perfectly on time. Very low pay. That job is horrible too.
I think a robot might be able to do some jobs, but I don't think they can do the complex triage and medical tasks a nurse does. Too much constant critical thinking and varied things occurring. Sometimes I think people confuse CNAs, MAs, and EMTs for nurses, but even then all those other jobs are still something I don't think a robot could even attempt.
Flip it around, they need your services more than ever privatize your services and contract your work out on your own terms and hours. Healthy work life balance is key for healthy families and communities. If they won't give you respect demand it. They know your value now more than ever, Stand for your rights. I respect that. You are not bloody doormats!!
This woman doesn't see having a job as privilege, which it is, she has a dangerous sense of entitlement and those of us who know what that means, know it means people like her are total b***hes when they think they aren't being watched.
@@allayneoreilly4677 how is having a job, where they are continually disrespected, overworked, underpaid, physically, sexually and verbally assaulted on a regular basis a privilege? Nurses are university and college educated professionals that work 365 days a year and deal with situations and circumstances you wouldn't even dream of. Go sit in the corner and think about what youve said Allayne. Stay off the pipe too, might do you some good.
@@bardownaint no, see you ignorant goober, many of us endure those conditions and in some cases, much worse conditions and paid far less to do them. I could go into my work experience, but I'm not, suffice it to say these nurses are behaving like premadonas, throw them on a drilling rig for two weeks, they will be begging to go back to a hospital within 4 hrs. We all have roles to play, some more important than others, but we all have free will, I guarantee if these gals don't want to be nurses, we have thousands of young girls who'd be willing to replace them.
These nurses work very hard but no one give them the respect they deserve. Same goes for the Police. People here don't even consider those Blue Heros and think and treat them like criminals. I take time now to Thank Them up. Tx you nurses and police for your hard work for us.
If it's anything like here they are already being paid probably twice as much as they need minimum. No amount of money can cure over working someone however. That can only be solved by bringing in more people. (Which would naturally lower wages since there's less specialty associated with doing it.)
A@Alexis B this has been happening for over 20 years here in the states in private hospitals. Staffing agency is were nurses go when we leave hospitals. Or we quit nursing. Working like that is insane and too stressful for that kind of treatment.
"socialist" healthcare is how the majority of the world run healthcare. And it actually is better than private healthcare in the USA. If you wanted proof you could look at publicly available statistics and quality of care to cost per capita, instead of reacting to single cases like this on government mismanagement.
decades old issues. Govt dont care.
Who cares, but not the Government.

Sounds like a reasonable idea, but you have to understand that the education and knowledge from these out of the country nurses in the 2nd and 3rd world is nowhere near par for 1st world healthcare systems. It is actually scary to think about. They would really need retraining.
Nurses are cool. It's inhumane to force overtime!!!
July 2021. Getting word from friends in medicine... doctors are not coming to Oregon. More difficult and lengthier wait for medical appointments.
I live in Gatineau, the nurses in Gatineau are the single most disenfranchised from their work. I have never felt so shrugged off and just they clearly don't care.
true story
It's been an issue for 20 years its getting worse and going to peak in 2035. There is not enough nurses graduating either. Nurses require advanced education (4 yrs University plus another 2 to work in ER/icu) we aren't just catr providers we coordinate all your care we require to know everyone's job in Healthcare because we are the ones there when no one else is (ie pharmacy, dieticuan, physio, plus advocate medically - knowing what to say to doctor as u know what is likely wrong w ur patients)
Thanks to Gaétan Barrette 2015 reform. 😀👍
Nurses. Don't come to Alberta, it's likely going to be getting worse here.
In Ontario, the nurses are constantly sexually abused, according to the ones I've spoken with.
😥
how? they hospitals can't get emptier.
@@jsnx9067 where exactly are you getting your information? because just about every hospital in Ontario is at maximum capacity right now. My local hospital is in Code Gridlock, which literally means they cannot admit any patients as there literally is not one empty bed.
Keep spreading false information though. I tell you, whatever goes on in your small simple delusional mind should be studied for science.
'Problems come unmasked", at long last. Enough is... too much!
The reporter Is not very good at her job, she should never have been given this interview!
I have seen the care go down because they are so tire. 5 patients per nurse and that's to much so the level of care is horrible. I have seen this since my mom has been in hospital 7 months now all because of covid... so u need to change the system
No one talking about CNA. It’s grueling job. Given 10-13 load per shift. Managers expecting them to attend to all direct care of patients perfectly on time. Very low pay. That job is horrible too.
My respect for the nurses!
Omg…that’s so true we can’t hold the weight of the world on our shoulders anymore…
They better get those Robot Med Bays , etc. on the drawing . Let's see how good the Med Tech companies really are !!!
I think a robot might be able to do some jobs, but I don't think they can do the complex triage and medical tasks a nurse does. Too much constant critical thinking and varied things occurring. Sometimes I think people confuse CNAs, MAs, and EMTs for nurses, but even then all those other jobs are still something I don't think a robot could even attempt.
GOOD. hopefully all those lazy spoiled brats quit.
Flip it around, they need your services more than ever privatize your services and contract your work out on your own terms and hours. Healthy work life balance is key for healthy families and communities. If they won't give you respect demand it. They know your value now more than ever, Stand for your rights. I respect that. You are not bloody doormats!!
Don't expect to be treated with respect if you are the most cruel, mean, bullies in the hospital.
This woman doesn't see having a job as privilege, which it is, she has a dangerous sense of entitlement and those of us who know what that means, know it means people like her are total b***hes when they think they aren't being watched.
@Laur Waite - are you on the waitlist for a brain transplant by any chance?
@@allayneoreilly4677 how is having a job, where they are continually disrespected, overworked, underpaid, physically, sexually and verbally assaulted on a regular basis a privilege?
Nurses are university and college educated professionals that work 365 days a year and deal with situations and circumstances you wouldn't even dream of.
Go sit in the corner and think about what youve said Allayne. Stay off the pipe too, might do you some good.
@@bardownaint no, see you ignorant goober, many of us endure those conditions and in some cases, much worse conditions and paid far less to do them. I could go into my work experience, but I'm not, suffice it to say these nurses are behaving like premadonas, throw them on a drilling rig for two weeks, they will be begging to go back to a hospital within 4 hrs. We all have roles to play, some more important than others, but we all have free will, I guarantee if these gals don't want to be nurses, we have thousands of young girls who'd be willing to replace them.
@@bardownaint BTW, college education doesn't entitle you to not work, it just means you can command a higher salary.
Hospitals should appreciate nurses more. Where would we be without them.
Tell it!!
These nurses work very hard but no one give them the respect they deserve. Same goes for the Police. People here don't even consider those Blue Heros and think and treat them like criminals. I take time now to Thank Them up. Tx you nurses and police for your hard work for us.
one person in ICU for over a week. if that is an issue we have a bigger problem
Exposure to second hand smoke in long term care homes where the management doesn't care is part of the problem.
If it's anything like here they are already being paid probably twice as much as they need minimum.
No amount of money can cure over working someone however. That can only be solved by bringing in more people.
(Which would naturally lower wages since there's less specialty associated with doing it.)
j'en ai tu rien a crissé
Yup the backlash is here and spreading
ever seens this pandemic has started lot of people are leaving there jobs or people are taking early retirment.
We work to live , not live to work.
This is going to get worse
So quit and go elsewhere
and then what? can’t run a hospital without nurses.
@@bardownaint
Oh well, let the Admin figure that out.
Agencies are better more 💸
Over paid and over inflated just like teachers getting over 100k and free child care
My guess is you have some cush office job...
...go on strike-that'll fix em
Bring Asians they love to work there
Nope.
@@landisoulette421 may not be an option though.
No money no talk.
Go figure
I hope nurses in Quebec run for political office! You would make humane policies.
What's this all the aboot eh ?
I thought public health care was supposed to be GREAT??
There are lots of graduates looking for jobs. It's best to leave if you don't like it and let someone else take over.
Would you feel safe with a brand new nurse taking care of you in the ICU?
when the going gets tough, nurses quit !
They will just find other complying nurses to replace them. Sad
Oh but I thought socialist healthcare was great…..
Canada isn't socialist.
A@Alexis B this has been happening for over 20 years here in the states in private hospitals. Staffing agency is were nurses go when we leave hospitals. Or we quit nursing. Working like that is insane and too stressful for that kind of treatment.
@@hnnnnnnnnnng sure is. what's your definition then.
"socialist" healthcare is how the majority of the world run healthcare. And it actually is better than private healthcare in the USA. If you wanted proof you could look at publicly available statistics and quality of care to cost per capita, instead of reacting to single cases like this on government mismanagement.
@@radscorpion8
Yet the countries with the best overall healthcare have both private and public.
Nurses are easily replaced.
With?
replaced by who?
I am so glad you think so. Don't get sick!
Really!!!!!!!!!!
@@bardownaint by the military
Its a "crisis" 😆 you enter a career path and panic when you are unable to deal with ego of doctors when you think you know their job.
Imagine being this ignorant. Seek help Oxygen-waster.
Bahahahaha I would LOOOOVE to see how doctors fair in any health care setting without nurses.
With the long hours she should have a lot of money . she should not complain about the money
What good is a lot of money if you don’t have time to spend it?
