Almost 60% of Saskatchewan nurses considered leaving profession in past year, survey shows

SUN president Tracy Zambory said the results represent a “canary in a coal mine” that show nurses are scared, very overwhelmed and burned out.

“Everytime a registered nurse shows up and sees their unit, agency or facility so incredibly short staffed… it reminds them that the premier and the minister of health ignored their pleas for help, ignored their calls to say, ‘We have a health-care system that is in crisis’.” Those numbers, and accounts from nurses, Zambory said, show many nurses are working unsustainable amounts of overtime and said the province’s political leadership needs to take note.
