Ontario nurses eye B.C.’s plan to cap nurse-to-patient ratio, ease workload
Preocanin said what would be a “great win” for nurses in the western province could influence demands by unionized nurses in Ontario seeking better working conditions as they head to arbitration next month after contract talks broke down in March.
“This shortage is creating chaos in critical care units,” said Silas, who would like to see minimum ratios across the country. Jim Gould, interim CEO of the BC Nurses’ Union, said the union is part of a committee that will work with the government to have the ratios implemented across the province.to-one for critical-care patients on ventilators, one-to-two for unventilated critical-care patients or those needing high-dependency mental-health care, one-to-three for specialized care, one-to-four for in-patient and palliative care and one-to-five for rehabilitative care.
Those jurisdictions have had fewer work-related injuries, while quality of care has improved,said Gould, adding the B.C. plan wouldgo further by also adopting minimum ratios in long-term and community-care facilities. “I am concerned. There’s no doubt about that. And government is concerned,” he said, adding he’s hoping nurses that left their jobs will return to workplaces that will be safer and offer better job satisfaction.
