  1. I wish the professor would have specified a bit about barriers to hiring doctors with educations outside of Canada

  2. Not my favourite hospital, NIT RUNNING THERE ANYTIME SOON… REASON I BELIEVE ITS BECAUSE TRILLIUM ON THE Queensway CLOSED, USE TO HAVE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPEN THE DOORS TO THE QUEENSWAY TRILLIUM MAYBE THAT WOULD HELP RELIEF SOME OF MEDICAL STAFFING AT ST. JOE’S…ON THE QUEENSWAY. 👍🇨🇦.. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE 🤣👍.

    1. The lowest paying job on Indeed right now for a Nurse is paying $28.31 an hour. On 12 hour shifts working 5 days a week, that’s $84,794 a year (before taxes).
      The highest paying job is $35.57 an hour. On 12 hour shifts 5 days a week, that’s $106,539 (before taxes).

  3. Unity health does not care about their staff. Things changed when they took the crosses out of patients rooms.

  4. During this healthcare staffing crisis, I feel much better when I remember that our Prime Minister is a male feminist.
