๐Nurses at Nicola Valley Hospital in Merritt, B.C., held a rally on Wednesday to address security and staffing concerns. The hospital's emergency department closed over a dozen times last year due to insufficient staff. The BC Nurses' Union organized the lunch-hour gathering to urge Interior Health to take action. According to the union, despite repeated requests for increased security, the health authority hasn't responded adequately. Recent incidents, including an intruder found sleeping in the facility and a stabbing in the parking lot, have raised concerns about safety. The hospital's emergency room faced temporary closures due to limited physician availability and staffing shortages.โ . ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข ๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ซ, ๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐ฒ+๐ ๐๐๐-๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข@๐๐ก๐๐๐ค๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ.๐๐ @chackolaw.ca . . #Nurses #Healthcare #InteriorHealth #Staffing #Security #BCNU #Merritt #NicolaValleyHospital #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
