My turn for getting disabled David I *guess* I just don't buy into the narrative the CBC is trying to sell?

Reply to @Mark (Junkman) George: CBC isn't "trying to sell" anything. They are reporting on what is happening.

Reply to @Cindy Fordyce: Not Exactly.
If you actually read the story it does not say anyplace that Horizon Health is short funded. Meaning the money for those 200 nurses exists within the operating budget, just that Horizon Health can't be bothered to hire them.
It then goes on to blame the government for ending a $7.3 Million a year contract with the universities in 2005 (14 years ago) that the universities did not deliver on. It does not tell us why charges were not laid for fraud.
All in all the story is carefully crafted to make the government look bad.

These politicians making the cuts don’t care because if any of their families need medical attention they can purchase it elsewhere.
We are so screwed. Cancer is HUGE in NB and getting worse. But our elected officials have other plans

Not once, in the article, did Horizon Health claim they were short funded. In fact, government departments operate on a budget. They are assigned X number of dollars, to spend as they see fit, the claim is they can't hire anybody, not that they are short funded.

Nurses are over worked but no one is listening. Thank you John McGarry, the chair of Horizon Health Network's board, for speaking out! Not easy I m sure!

Reply to @Ray Bungay: If it's not easy for the boss to speak out, imagine how difficult it is for the staff!

Reply to @Roy Kirk: Methinks many would agree that McGarry is just playing the game just like he was reappointed to do N'esy Pas?

Because nursing is mostly female occupation even though more men are coming on board Hospitals face far different challenges...I know of 1 female nursing graduate that just wants to get on full time for the benefits then immediately get pregnant so she can take a year off...Now that helps that hospital immensely does it not....The dedication is not there with recent graduates and the public is paying for it dearly.

Reply to @Stanley Kerr: Methinks many nurse get their education here then go south of the 49th for better wages etc N'esy Pas?

Sounds like the Province is having the same problem in recruiting Nurses as they have had in recruiting Substitute Teachers . Some School districts have reduced the qualifications of a Substitute teacher down to having a High School Diploma , and then being given a local permit to teach . If the Province wants qualified professional staff , then they need to start giving more pay , benefits and seniority to their casual Nurses and Teachers ; and do away with nepotism in the hiring process .

Maybe, a basic 101 entry level course in personnel selection would help voters in choosing somehow qualified and competent legislators when scribbling their preferred colour paint by number politicians...et voilà.

Reply to @Roland Godin: Methinks it would be a major faux pas for an unethical government to teach people to think before they vote N'esy Pas?

Well imagine we have a urgent need for more nurses. Higgs doesn’t want to spend any money and ole Austin is happy with one licence plate. Lou bell what do you think one plate is better then more nurses no wait let’s put mvi stickers on cars every ten years. We could save 350 bucks

$2 million per day just to pay interest on the debt. Thank you to all of our governments the last 50 years, and the voters that think that was no problem. So is it time to pay the piper, or, dig the hole even deeper?

Reply to @David Webb: "or, dig the hole even deeper?"

Methinks the political parties and their bankster buddies want folks to believe Keynesian economics. Perhaps more folks should throw their hat in the ring as Independents and speak their minds from the soap box. Maybe a few of them would win next time like the tag team of Jane and Jody quite likely will N'esy Pas
