ACT losing nurses

Federalise the health system, take the funding from the states and territories, and hopefully the Feds will do a better job than the states and territories have. I thought that was one of the things Kevin 07 was looking into when he was elected?

So many of us ex tch nurses, are today in other jobs, and we sit and wait quietly for the day, when justice prevails. We sit quietly, because we know what happens to us, when we try to speak out. She has it all wrapped up. Every move is in check, and every pawn is placed carefully, so nobody can move anywhere.

My partner is a nurse in the ACT and the conditions she has to work under are abysmal…she is even in what would likely be considered one of the “cushier” jobs.
She and most of her collegues often talk of leaving and yet none of it is taken seriously and conditions do not improve.
They will very soon lose yet another nurse and will likely sit there scratching thier collective noggins wondering why another good worker has given up in disgust.

Brendan seems to be telling us that the nurses retiring are level 1 nurses who are young, recent graduates, and so they aren’t going to retire due to old age just yet.

I take it from “among the best paid in the country” that the government has no intention of raising salaries. Funny how it shifts from “Simon” to “The Government” once money gets mentioned.
