12 months ago I left the public system where I worked in Ed for 5 years. Staffing was inadequate and with Covid thrown in the mix I was exhausted and anxious. I gained employment in the Private sector where I have been able to rediscover my love for nursing. Fast forward to 2022 and our colleagues in a remote town 6 hours away were desperate for help. They have experienced inadequate staffing, unskilled staffing and fear for their personal safety and professional registration. I put my hand up to go and help for 1 month, I lasted 11 days. Intruders breaking into staff accomodation at the hospital, stealing belongings and threatening people with knives! Poor security, gates were rammed by a stolen car recently and had not been replaced. No midwife available for the indigenous ladies presenting in labour, requiring retrieval. I am not a midwife. No health service manager to express my concerns too. They have had 8 in the last 12 months. One of 2 Doctors in town has just had their car stolen. So why would staff go there? They need help NOW!!
