CBC
St. Bonificace Hospital has seen seven staff resignations in the span of nine days in one of its COVID-19 units, according to a memo emailed to staff at the Winnipeg hospital.
The email was sent by hospital management to staff on Sept. 10. It outlined "risks" for the 6A unit, where COVID-19 patients are treated.
"It's been too long of a time without any support," one of the nurses who resigned from the unit told CBC News.
CBC is protecting her identity because she wants to work in another department of the hospital and fears career repercussions for speaking on the record.
"It's a horrible thing to see. There doesn't seem to be any thought given to the acuity of patients and the nursing care that's required," she said through tears.
"You're almost always walking into an unsafe situation, basically putting your licence on the line," the nurse said.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority confirmed there have been nursing departures from the hospital's two COVID-19 units.
