10 November: Nurses rally


Safe Patient Care!
The State Government is not responding to the call from nurses & midwives
for mandated nurse-to-patient ratios. Without ratios the crisis in our health
system will continue –
  • Staffed to budget not safe patient care;
  • Poor skill-mix; nurses replaced with unlicensed workers, if at all;
  • Recruitment slow or non-existent;
  • Medication errors, near misses, low morale, burn-out.
