Let’s Talk about Staffing Shortages
Episode 6: Let’s Talk About Staffing Shortages - Aman Grewal
Safe staffing ratios is a topic that has come up in nearly every conversation so far on Working Short and today we will be continuing that conversation. From working short, to not having enough nurses in the province, to waitlists to get into nursing school, and more, there is a clear shortage amongst all of these and it affects more than just nurses, it affects everyone in BC.
Tune in this week as we talk with BCNU President and RN Aman Grewal, about the nursing staffing shortage and crisis here in British Columbia.
Aman Grewal has been a nurse for 35 years and has seen the demand for more nurses and the staffing crisis throughout the years. But how do we get through the crisis we’re in now and move forward?
