Nurses to speak out about ongoing concerns for safe patient care at Royal Columbian Hospital
Hallway Nursing is bad for patients and their families

Despite the national shame that was cast on Royal Columbian Hospital when patients were moved into an adjoining Tim Hortons coffee shop last month, nurses’ demands for improvements to care continue to be ignored.
BCNU members and friends will be gathering to protest the ongoing over-crowding at the facility and the related quality care and safety concerns which impact patients and their families.
