National survey points to toxic workplace for nurses, doctors

Burn-out, stress, mistrust and a feeling of abandonment by leadership are takeaways from the survey of nurses and doctors. It found 75% of nurses and 69% of doctors intend on leaving the industry in the next 12 months. Many surveyed would like to see a total overhaul of the system, calling for widespread firing of directors and managers. Some of the solutions offered include increasing funding, attracting recently retired workers back to the workforce, drawing back those who left for the private sector or the U.S. for better pay and fast-tracking the recruitment of trained immigrants. In N.B., one Saint John-based counsellor says the number of healthcare workers seeking mental health assistance is on the rise.
