• Why is it that the mining sector has a fatigue management plan for their workers, yet nurses don’t have one!? Or we do but

it’s ok to override??

If and/or when (god forbid) a mistake is made, and the outcome is serious harm to a patient or even death – who will be to blame??

When a nurse is so burnt out to the point of mental breakdown, who then helps their loved ones come to terms with why this has happened??

Where is your compassion for nurses who’s job it is to do no harm to our patients, to be the emotional and physical support for patients and their families and also to be able to emotionally and physically support themselves and their own families???

Due to staff shortages since you have carelessly opened up the state to ‘let it rip’ I have watched ED staff work their 16th 12hr shift in a row with no break, I have watched nurses work well over 80 hours a WEEK! They have had their annual leave cut short due to staff shortages, Loose precious time with their kids during the school holidays, only to then put THEM at risk of getting COVID due to the sheer amount of people attending ED because they ‘tested positive’, or then there is the fact that people are trying to attend the hospital to visit patients who them selves have tested positive, which in turn sending half of a ward and it’s staff into lockdown – or precious babies in intensive care and their families! What the actual f……!!??

Would you yourself, NSW Premier, work under these conditions??

How would you feel if your wife or child was working under these condition???

We have had enough!

Nurses are leaving the profession they once loved and worked so hard to get!!

You need to listen to the stories, you need to understand how bad it is for nurses.

You need to make it BETTER for nurses!!
