Solving the nursing crisis is key to public health care survival in Ontario. Further erosion of our public health care system is all but guaranteed unless urgent action is taken, starting with addressing the nursing shortage. Opinion by NurseEnxhi

This has been the underlying theme of this series; repeatedly iterated from varying angles, resolving any debate on the contribution, value and necessity of nurses to health care.

First steps have been taken toward that end by government initiatives aimed at expanding nursing school availability and placements, as well as recruitment initiatives for rural and long-term care nursing roles. Given that the results of these initiatives will not be evident for a few years, however, it seems that our health care situation will continue to get worse before it gets better.

Globally, we are facing a future in which health care will serve an even more pivotal role as the additional factor of climate change threatens our societies with environmental toxins, natural disasters, and novel viruses. Health-care workers will be relied on for recovery during inevitable future crises; the only hope, though, is that there are enough of us left in the field to provide that support. It is a bleak reality, but too important to trivialize.

Ontario gives OK for nursing college to expedite international nurse registrationOntario's minister of health has told the province's nursing college to go ahead with regulatory changes that could get thousands more internationally trained nurses into practice more quickly. I don't want the lowering of standards to bring in foreigners with poor training and even worse English skills. No thanks. Disaster waiting to happen. There's enough poor doctors imported that way. This is a double edge sword. Canadian nurses have been mandated years of education that has only grown from the 90s. It went from 2 years to now 5. They do need help,But won't it burn their Arse that students from out of country are now eligible with a fraction of the education? Should not this have happened in 2020?
