BC Nurses Union President Christine Sorensen stated our province continues to have the lowest ratio of nurses to population in the country.
Sorensen brought the issue to light once again as its National Nurses Week in Canada.
The issue is of great concern in the north where our region has 25% fewer nurses when compared to the rest of BC.
This often puts a huge strain on the current staff at Prince George’s University Hospital.
“Right now at UHNBC, you do not have enough nurses to manage your critical care areas like the ICU or many of your patients go from all over the north to care for that either have COVID or are in more complex situations.”

VANCOUVER In the wake of the B.C. Centre for Disease Control updating its public messaging to acknowledge aerosol spread of COVID-19, calls are growing for a change in public messaging. The province’s top doctor, however, is downplaying the significance of airborne spread of the coronavirus. On Tuesday, the BCCDC tweeted a link to its website with the caption that the virus “spreads from a person with COVID-19 to others through larger droplets and smaller droplets known as aerosols.” The acknowledgement comes two weeks after Vancouver Coastal Health quietly changed its website less than 24 hours after a CTV News Vancouver story highlighting the outdated information about airborne transmission on the site. While there has been widespread scientific consensus for months that COVID is airborne, the health authority’s website still said “there is no reported evidence of airborne transmission” until after CTV News pointed it out.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C – Northern Health is addressing rumours that staff at Fort St. John Hospital are neglecting patients.
“We understand rumours are circulating which share the perception that Fort St. John staff are not attending to patients properly. We need to put a stop to this conversation,” says Angela De Smit, Northeast Chief Operating Officer, in a statement Friday.
“Hospital staff are doing their very best, every day, under an extremely difficult situation,” De Smit continues. ),whenLoaded(initFlexitive);
