Huh. People saw how the government treated nurses and stopped wanting to be nurses. Whodathunkit?
how the government treated nurses and stopped wanting to be nurses
Not all government is conservative, so maybe that's a bit broad. But I'd also say all healthcare professionals.
Yeah, if people think nurses get treated bad, treatment of the other technologists is even worse.
The Ontario government gave pandemic bonuses to nurses, but they completely ignored other techs working in the same room under the same conditions.
Similarly, it's great PR for companies to donate swag during nurses week, but then it's crickets for all the other professionals.
The nurse representative interviewed is from Quebec, and healthcare is a provincial matter, so I guess the government you refer to is the government of Quebec? Seems like a lot for a single province.
The reality is that this is a country-wide problem, so it cannot be blamed on "the government". "The government" doesn't have power over the entire country. The country is split across many sub-sovereign jurisdictions.
It more likely explained simply by a strong labour economy, giving healthcare workers more options than they have historically been accustomed to. The same story can be told in virtually every industry. If you wanted to, say, write an article about the state of restaurant jobs you could keep 95% of the content in this article.
