Yeah, nurses can't find a job, but there are no funds to hire them. And hospitals are severely understaffed to a point where they're declining vacations to nurses who apply 6 months in advance. One of my nursing friend is thinking of taking a leave of absence because she feels overworked.

Also, I've been told nurses aren't getting raises for the next 3 years...and the union negotiations are coming up soon. I wouldn't be surprise if another strike occurs.
