The Gritty Nurse Podcast


Nov 11, 2021

Sara and Amie talk about the chronic nursing shortage and nursing recruitment such as high entrance grades, cheating, and the lack of clinical placements and preceptors. They also talk about creative solutions, and the dire need for more government support. There is significant red tape for internationally trained nurses, and nurses who want to return to the bedside. They also discuss a looming strike due to a proposed wage cut of new hires by a whopping 26-39%! What can be done? Listen and find out!
