Knowing nurses in Calgary, they hate working for the AHS. Many of them quit or burnt out last year. Combine that with an adversarial relationship with Kenney and Covid, the system is in shambles and is a terrible place to be in from what I heard over the last two years. Many nurses I talked to want out of Calgary and the AHS is backfilling them with lower quality outsourcing/contractors which sucks for both patients and those who care. My dad almost died last year because an outsourced floor nurse doing night rounds didn't check his vitals.

The hockey analogy would be that working for the AHS is like playing for the MacT Oilers while your facility is that of the Coyotes.

The other thing to note is that Gaudreau's wife Meredith is trained and licensed in PA and Canada is notorious for making it difficult to transfer medical credentials from other countries. It will be much easier for her to work and build a fulfilling pediatric nursing career in Columbus.
