What Workers Are Saying

To Testimonials

Why are we working so hard for a system that doesn’t care about us?

- Child & Family

Services

We have management making decisions who have no experience of working in this ICU and are making it unsafe for RNs and patients.

- Stanton Territorial Hospital

We’re not there for appreciation, but nobody is helping us hold it together.

- Child & Family

Services

Management made a decision that due to a staffing shortage in ICU, that the ICU would decrease the number of patients they would be able to admit.

...

This means that the patients needing emergency care are waiting longer because the ER beds are being used by ICU patients.

- Stanton Territorial Hospital

The problems boil down to being severely understaffed, workers burning out quickly

and extremely, and unsafe working conditions with no resources to make

it safer.

- Child & Family

Services

We love our community. We love the families and the kids.

- Child & Family

Services

I voiced concerns that if things didn’t change staff  would leave.

The response I got was

“if anyone doesn’t like it they can leave.”

This is why staffing is so bad and why healthcare in the north is at risk.

 

- Stanton Territorial Hospital

I am sick and in long term due to shortages of staff, work too much overtime, no vacations, no time off for, no training , over 4 years.
