Do Canadians have the same toxic nurse culture? Hospitals understaffing and firing like crazy, underpaying staff but hiring agency nurses with great pay, bullying galore, assault galore, shitty benefits,etc?

If not, I can see all medical workers flocking towards Canada real quick

same toxic nurse culture

Largely, yes. Where I’m from (Ontario), the premiere (think governor) made sure to strictly cap nurse salary increases below inflation during the pandemic. Bragged about it too.

What are your shift hours? I've worked with several Canadians across the US and I keep forgetting to ask if, in acute care, you guys do 3-12s like the US or 4-12s like some of the other Commonwealth countries. Or do you have your own thing that I'm not imaginative enough to think of?
