Workloads, management and staff turnover biggest issues
Registered nurses at the Edgewater Gardens Long-Term Care Home in Dunnville, Ont., voted to join the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) on Feb. 13.
The nurses from the home are concerned about heavy workloads that they believe may be impacting resident care. The employees say there have been high levels of management and staff turnover, said the union.
ONA represents more than 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates, providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health, the community, clinics and industry.
