We’ve all been there.
Sick. Hurt. Worried. Exhausted.
And in those times, we count on our health care system to provide safe, compassionate and quality patient care. Nurses play a critical role by assisting with recovery, offering advice and support, and ensuring we receive the best care possible at every step.
That’s why nurses oppose health cuts to provide safe patient care.
Premier Brian Pallister promised Manitobans “better health care sooner.” However, ongoing cuts continue to put patient care at risk. Following years of health care cuts and closures, Manitobans have fewer options for care, and nurses worry that someday, something will go wrong.
Wait times are up and mandatory overtime is on the rise, which causes burnout and jeopardizes safe patient care. Increasing workload means nurses have less time to spend with each patient. The system is struggling to keep up with the changes, and nurses are being asked to clean up the mess. This is driving nurses out of the system, making it even harder to address the nursing shortage.
The situation is getting worse and Premier Pallister has promised more cuts are on the way.
When the government cuts frontline services, they put care at risk – that’s why nurses are speaking up for patients.

Manitoba opens 11 ‘flexible-length’ beds for addiction treatment
Manitoba has added new addictions withdrawal spaces in Winnipeg and Brandon, which are designed to help treat meth and opioid use.Funding for the “flexible-length withdrawal treatment beds&rd…5 beds in Winnipeg.... wow so underwhelming 🙄
An addiction treatment building is what’s needed. Especially in Brandon!
11 beds! What a joke....how about 110 or 1100 beds! Now that would be noteworthy. Our meth crisis involves 100’s not 11 or less. Yes u have to start somewhere. But this is simply lacking logic. Just my opinion
Are there guaranteed places for patients to go once detox completed?
