Auckland DHB nurses say staff shortages putting patients and staff at risk

The stress nurses are under is so bad, patients have begun to comment on it, the nurse said, and departments aren’t hiring any new staff.
“The patients can see how busy we are, how stressed we are. Normally we can hide it, but it’s become too much.”
A nurse from a different department said staffing had been “horrendous” since the start of the Covid-19 response.
“It feels like there’s nothing going on to solve the problem. We have more people using sick leave due to fatigue, we’re meant to have six nurses on every shift, but we’re lucky to get five at the moment.
