00:09We are asking for safe staffing, safe patient care and fair pay.
00:15These are not luxuries.
00:18They are the foundations of a safe and sustainable nursing workforce.
00:25Nurses are tired of being tired.
00:30Tired of working short-staffed.
00:33Missing meal breaks.
00:35Working excessive overtime.
00:38And constantly being expected to do more with less.
00:43I'm sorry if I'm getting emotional.
00:48Our day surgery and recovery areas are understaffed.
00:52Recovery beds are regularly blocked.
00:54And patients are pushed through the system at unacceptable, unsafe standards.
01:03Our new graduates lack adequate support.
01:06Nurses are placed in unfamiliar specialties, like this morning.
01:10And experienced theatre nurses can be sent to unfamiliar wards without appropriate training or supervision.
01:19Healthy care, we have had enough!
01:22We'll see you soon!
01:23Yeaah!
01:23Customer一下!
