The National Patients' Report Card Gives Nurses an A+

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) - A new national poll shows that Canadian patients overwhelmingly approve of treatment they receive from the nation's nurses, despite the clearly visible nursing shortage in hospitals.

The poll, conducted by Vector Poll in early June for the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) for its 30th Anniversary Biennial Convention being held in Winnipeg, showed that nurses get a great report card from their patients.

The National Patients' Report Card on Nurses found:

  • 88 % of respondents who saw a nurse the last time they needed health care said they were listened to carefully and had their questions answered;

On February 23rd blow the whistle on bullying, BC Nurses Union

Wednesday February 23rd is Anti-Bullying Day also known as Pink Shirt Day. The goal is to raise awareness of the harmful impacts of workplace bullying. BCNU members and stewards will be taking action to highlight this important day at worksites throughout the province.

Bullying and horizontal violence in nursing

In 2005 Statistics Canada reported that bullying and horizontal violence affects many Canadian nurses:

  • Almost 50 percent of nurses report emotional abuse at work
  • 46 percent of nurses report they were exposed to hostility or conflict from co-workers

Bullying is aggressive, persistent and intentional behaviour where any reasonable person should know their behaviour is unwelcome by the victim.

Bullying isn't normal rudeness or properly discharged managerial activities. Bullying is more than normal workplace conflict – it creates toxic workplaces that are often difficult to change. If you believe bullying is an issue at your worksite, contact your BCNU steward.

To make a difference in your workplace, know your "Respect in the Workplace" policy and procedures. To learn more about bullying:

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."
