What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

North Bay Regional Health Centre announced layoffs last month affecting 10 Registered Nurses, Personal Support Workers, and clerical staff from RNAO, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and Ontario Public Service Employees Union. These cuts occur as Ontario hospitals implement cost-cutting measures and face criticism over low RN-to-population ratios. Nursing advocates warn that the province risks driving experienced nurses into private agencies for higher wages.
