It is outrageous that a nurse is placed in the position of having to make a choice between one critically ill patient and another. A nurse should never have to even consider committing a breach of protocol. Public hospitals are notoriously "Top Heavy". Get rid of some of the clip-board carriers making hospital decisions over coffee with other clip-board carriers and put proper nurses at the coal face where they are needed. This is an example of why experienced nurses are leaving the industry in droves. They just get over being stressed, day in, day out, just because of lack of adequate staff and general mismanagement.

In the interests of safe patient care, + protecting + retaining nursing staff, please consider the addition, around the clock, of an additional RN in the Musswellbrook ED.

The alternative is at best sub-standard care due to time constraints, at worst tragedy - for patients, their families, and for nurses unable to perform to the best of their abilities because of a preventably too high patient load.

Thank you.
