Home care: “We are having family members performing surgical dressing changes because we don’t have the staffing to accommodate their needs &/or we have had to send clients, that would normally be seen in the home, to emergency for care because of lack of home care staff” #skpoli

Rural health in #Sask. “Two for you in the most condensed form I can manage” “Our rural obstetrics ward has been closed for 18 months” “We are unable to accept transfers back to home hospital because we too are at capacity” #skpoli

Acute mental health in #Sask: “I work on an acute mental health unit at one of our province's hospitals. At any given time, we have multiple dementia/neurocognitive disorder clients admitted on our unit. Acute mental health is not the appropriate place for them” #Skpoli

Here we go again in rural #Sask. A multi-day care disruption - Redvers Emergency and Acute Care services. This is what happens when we ignore health care in our province’s rural communities. They deserve so much better. #skpoli

“Our ORs are on hold as we simply have no space to accept their patients” – 3x emails & counting today from the Royal University Hospital Operating Room Recovery Unit.   OR recovery has essentially become an inpatient unit as patients can’t be moved onto the wards.   #skpoli

“Staff are frequently working 16hr night shifts,because there is often no place for our patients to go... Some patients end up staying in the recovery room for greater than 24hrs after surgery. We are sometimes discharging patients home, straight from the recovery room.” #skpoli

Rural #Sask: Yorkton & area: “Our local hospitals are on bypass more than they are open”   Ever wondered about the chain reaction of rural bypasses, regional hospital nurse shortages, tertiary overcapacity, & STARS & road EMS not being immediately available? This -> #skpoli

Southeast Saskatchewan is AGAIN in trouble. Another multi-day emergency services bypass putting extreme stress on Estevan and Arcola. Rural healthcare in #Sask is crumbling. We cannot neglect rural health. These communities deserve better. #skpoli

Rally with us - Oct 3, #Sask legislature, noon. ER overcrowding, hallway beds, critical nursing shortages & declining access to rural care are fueling increasing fears for patient safety. Calls for urgent intervention are now louder than ever. #skpoli facebook.com/share/uMsNW6D8v…

A national pharmacare program means a better health care system for everyone. Janet is a nurse and a union leader. She knows what a game-changer this will be.

Today at #RCN24, Linda Silas told members why safety-critical nurse-to-patient ratios are vital for patient safety. And she reminded everyone of the power of the nursing voice to create change. Read our demands for nursing this General Election: bit.ly/3VoV0bb

You can build all the healthcare buildings you want across the province but if there is no one to staff them it is useless! The @SaskParty needs to fund initiatives to developing staff and retaining the staff we currently have. Without it there is no one to care! #skpoli

Replying to @TracyZam
@TracyZam said the province would be better off committing the funds to improving working conditions of nurses who live in Sask. rather than spending it on short-term - often expensive - contracts. "The opportunity is there & certainly the money is there.” cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatche…

Do we blame them @picardonhealth ! The game is played in a way to only look after the owners…not the players or worst not our patients or tax payers. More on solutions from @cfnu soon #TrustNurses
