The Core area or has one of the highest nurse vacancy rates among City hospitals along with Victoria hospitals or which is Short 19 per cent of its full time nursing staff and Grace hospitals or Short 18 per cent. Jan Currie Winnipeg regional health authority yes chief nursing officer said the shortage at Hsc a snot improved since june and or nurses Are working extra shifts to fill the gaps. Currie said Hsc needs a Large complement of nurses because of the Eros size and they sometimes have to close Beds in the observation unit since there Are too few nurses. The nurses who Are there Are working extra shifts Currie said. Very often the staff work Short. It Isnit Ideal and it compounds the problem but we have to keep it open. The shortage makes it difficult to recruit nurses and Currie said Sinclair is death May complicate efforts to attract new staff. Sinclair 45, was found dead in the Hsc emergency waiting room last month by a horrified member of the Public. All the frequent or visitor needed was a Catheter change and antibiotics but he was never triage or registered in the queue to see a doctor. His death sparked an inquest that is expected to include a review of or staffing Levels. Ism not sure anyone left because of it but theress not any lineups to work there either Currie said. It probably does not help us recruit she said. According to or statistics from june St. Boniface general Hospital is Short three full time nurses seven Oaks is Short about two Grace Hospital and Victoria Hospital Are Short about seven full time nurses Concordia is Short close to two full time nurses and Misericordia is Short less than one full time nurse. Currie said nurse shortages tend to rotate from Hospital to Hospital noting that since june staff Levels improved at some Sites but worsened at others including Concordia. The updated numbers will be available in coming weeks she said. Sandi Mowat president of Manitoba nurses Union expects chronic nursing shortages will continue since 2,500 Manitoba nurses Are eligible for retirement. Mowat a former Hsc or nurse called the shortage a vicious Circle that forces nurses to work Long exhausting shifts which in turn deters other nurses from accepting jobs there. In the past nurses needed at least two years experience before ers would hire them but Mowat said hospitals now hire new graduates who have done a placement in an or to help alleviate staffing problems. You need More nurses but the conditions Are bad you re on your feet for 12, sometimes 15 hours so its hard to recruit to those areas Mowat said. Those nurses Are overtired and Are just trying to do their jobs. Jen. Skerritt free press. My. Caer nurses needed stat St. Boniface general Hospital 3.0 of 51.3 full time positions.
