how do you deal with aggressive people / families while at work?
  • At our hospital we have vocera badges for voip. If you double tap the call button it will call security for you and give them your location, they come running.

    I’m sorry this happened to your colleague and you. Unfortunately healthcare takes a lot of abuse

  • What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway?
  • I quit that game years ago for my mental health. I was obsessed with it, but I remember spending over an hour every day trying to get x wins to get the daily chest. I miss playing it sometimes, but ultimately I think it's bad for me lol

    Arbitrator Awards 45,000 Ontario Hospital Workers 6.25% Wage Increase; Registered Practical Nurses To Get Additional Incentive TORONTO, ON – On Tuesday, Arbitrator Kaplan’s Bill 124 reopener award recognized the extent to which Doug Ford’s Bill 124 unconstitutionally suppressed union member wages...

    On Tuesday, Arbitrator Kaplan’s Bill 124 reopener award recognized the extent to which Doug Ford’s Bill 124 unconstitutionally suppressed union member wages — particularly given the combined effects of the pandemic, the healthcare worker recruitment and retention crisis and inflation — and determined that these factors must be reflected in compensation increases for OCHU/CUPE and SEIU Healthcare members.

    However, the arbitration award only partially recognizes these factors, in providing for salary increases of 3.75% in 2022 and 2.5% in 2023, together with a two-dollar boost to the predominant RPN hourly rate and long-deserved increases to shift and weekend premiums, call-back, vision and massage coverage. The wage increases are in addition to 1% increases for each year of the collective agreement awarded by another arbitrator under Bill 124.

    Unfortunately, these increases still fall well short of what is needed to keep up with inflation and to respond to the serious shortage of healthcare workers in Ontario hospitals. Given the economic growth, we would have liked to see increases that surpassed inflation, or at minimum offset it.

    OCHU/CUPE and SEIU Healthcare members are committed to ensuring that these critical issues are addressed in the upcoming round of negotiations and urge both the Participating Hospitals and Doug Ford’s Ontario government to come to the bargaining table with a renewed commitment to providing the compensation necessary to address ongoing inflation and the unprecedented staffing crisis in Ontario’s hospitals.

    Recent negotiated settlements and arbitrated outcomes acknowledge the impact of Bill 124, realizing what the OHA themselves forecasted as “…consequences that could negatively impact hospital employees and create financial and operational disruption that would overshadow the impact of any short-term cost avoidance on compensation increases”. Accordingly, we call on the OHA to stand with us in demanding that the Ontario government abandon its costly appeal of Bill 124, which they continue to pursue.

    sharp hip and knee pain on same side.
  • Maybe sciatic nerve pain? Sitting for long periods can put pressure on that nerve that runs all the way down your legs from your back. It can get pretty nasty. There's a lot of stretches you can do that help (look it up on YouTube), and walking and standing help.

    See a doctor, of course. Good luck
