Emergency Department nurse, Kirstin Ramsay, at the nurses protest outside Christchurch hospital during a strike on June 9 around the country.
Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) executive director of nursing, Becky Hickmott, confirmed the DHB had recieved the notice on Friday night.
“We recognise the need to strengthen and optimise our patient treatment pathways,” she said.
Hickmott said the ED had been “regularly exceeding well over 100 per cent occupancy since late last year. ED staff were integral, she added, and the DHB was committed to improving their working conditions.
David Wait, the lead negotiator for the NZNO union, said the union had asked for staffing levels in hospital wards to be made public and for the implementation of penalty payments for nurses working on under-staffed wards. ....

Nurses vote on multiple strikes as union and health boards return to negotiating table

Health boards say they are disappointed the NZNO had balloted members for more strikes ahead of talks this week.
Spokeswoman Dale Oliff, the chief executive of Wairarapa DHB, said health boards had tried to meet the union in the middle and asked them to think more about a way forward, rather than planning further strikes.
The strike options in the NZNO ballot were based on feedback from members which showed they favoured multiple strikes lasting 24 and eight hours, Wait said.

Stop treating Māori patients like they are 'gangsters': Māori nurse

New targets quietly approved by DHBs in 2019 are aimed at turning this situation around.
These include recording employee ethnicity, employing a Māori workforce that reflects Māori population proportionally for their region by 2030, and Māori staff turnover being no greater than DHB turnover for all staff.
There are also targets around cultural competency training being delivered for all DHB staff in their interactions with Māori patients and whānau.
Debbie became a registered nurse to care for her whānau, but she feels her Māori identity has been an obstacle to career progression.
