A Toronto ER nurse quit her job earlier this year to work as a travel nurse at a hospital in Texas. She’s getting paid three times her salary in Canada and working only 36 hours a week, as opposed to 70-80 hours at St. Michael’s in Toronto. In a CUPE survey, 87% of more than 2,600 hospital registered practical nurses said they considered leaving their nursing job after the pandemic because of working conditions and abusive behaviour directed at them by families of patients. Staffing levels in Canadian hospitals are being impacted too. Statistics Canada reported that job vacancies in the healthcare and social assistance sector reached an all-time high of 136,800 in Q1, rising nearly 91% compared to Q1 of 2020.
