A lunchtime rally was held outside of the hospital on Wednesday (April 17), with the nurses who help keep the facility running demanding better working conditions and proper staffing.
“It is the responsibility of this employer to ensure that the working conditions are safe,” said BC Nurses Union President Adriane Gear. “What I have been learning from speaking with nurses that work at Nicola Valley Hospital is that they don’t feel safe, and they have been raising those concerns and they have fallen on deaf ears. That would be one tangible example of how you retain nurses — you respect them, you value them and you keep them safe.”
