Burnout plagues about 40% of respondents
Nearly a quarter of nurses wouldn't recommend the hospital where they work to their family or friends, a survey by CBC News has found.
The startling figure comes from an online poll that CBC's flagship investigative show, the fifth estate, distributed to registered nurses across the country as part of Rate My Hospital, a sweeping series about health care.
Twenty-four per cent of respondents to the survey distributed through nursing associations and unions said they definitely would not or probably would not recommend their hospital to loved ones
"I'm very disappointed that nurses can’t recommend their facilities, the places where they work, to their loved ones," said Ontario Nurses' Association vice-president Andy Summers. "When they look around them and they realize that they couldn’t recommend that facility, it tells me that they're recognizing how dire their practice is."
Countries around the world are facing critical nursing shortages. From North America to Africa and Europe, communities are challenged with growing health care needs and diminishing numbers of nurses.

Nearly 25%, means that over 75% are good.

If a hospital in one direction is sub par, then we go to another one. There's at least 3 hospitals within half hour of me, and I'm rural. One of them is very good. An hour away, by ambulance, is another very good one. Air lifting to that one would probably be 20 minutes. That's how they deal with a lot of the vehicle accidents.
