The B.C. government has pledged $12 million in taxpayer money to fund streamlining the process of hiring foreign nurses..
Amid a nursing staff shortage, British Columbia says it will make it easier for foreign nurses to get licensed instead of letting unvaccinated nurses return to work.
During a press conference on Tuesday, B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix announced that the province is looking into ways to expedite the registration and licensing process for internationally educated nurses in order to combat the ongoing worker shortage. Despite the desperate need for nurses, the healthcare system is maintaining its policy that those fired over their COVID-19 vaccine status will still not be allowed to return to work.
“Our government is committed to addressing the province’s demand for nurses. That’s why we’re launching this comprehensive suite of supports for internationally educated nurses to help them put their skills to use here in BC,” Dix said.
“Removing some financial barriers and streamlining the assessment process will facilitate pathways to employment in the province and ensure British Columbians have access to the healthcare they deserve with even more nurses and healthcare assistants,” added Dix, referencing that the province has now allocated $12 million in taxpayer money to fund the effort.
While provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry rescinded the vaccine passport system for the public in early April, announcing B.C. is “in a place where we can go from mandated requirements to managing our own health,” she has nonetheless doubled down on the mandate for public healthcare workers despite the shortage as recently as March.
Since then, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a pro-bono legal group, announced that they have filed a lawsuit in BC Supreme Court on behalf of several healthcare workers who have lost their jobs because of Henry’s orders.
According to the JCCF press release, BC’s mandate did not allow for exemptions on religious or conscience grounds, and the medical exemptions were so narrow that one would have to have an adverse reaction to the first dose of the injection to be exempt from the second.
JCCF lawyer Charlene Le Beau says this is a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and that “no Order or legislation outranks and outweighs the Charter’s protection of fundamental freedoms such as freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.”
“It has become clear that the Covid-19 vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. In addition, the BC Covid Therapeutics Committee states natural immunity is the same as having had two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine. Given these facts, ostracizing Canadians for their constitutionally-protected personal medical choices is clearly an unjustifiable act of discrimination and a violation of the Charter,” Ms. Le Beau stated.
“We depended on these hard-working health care workers throughout the first year of Covid and there were no vaccines available. To fire them from their jobs now because they exercise bodily autonomy or have objections to the vaccines based on their beliefs, is an act of two-faced hypocrisy and a betrayal of those workers who have sacrificed so much for Canadians,” the lawyer added.
the great reset.....i bet the “new” workers are at slave labor wages.
The decision makers are seriously lost in space.
It seems to go across borders, and from the top to the
bottom.
They will also help kill off whites through iatrogenic incidents.
Hospitals Should Hire, Not Fire, Nurses with Natural Immunity..

One of the things the medical related boards have always
tried to telegraph to the public was how rigid their
standards were. Boy you had to have this degree, this
diploma, this training, this experience, or you just
couldn’t get hired.
COVID-19 comes along and they’ll drop standards at the
blink of an eye. Oh those old standards from six months
ago? Well we don’t need those.
Who are these idiots trying to kid here?
You wouldn’t follow our ORDERS you peasants with degrees?
Well screw you. We’ll show you who wields the power!
Political NAZIs on parade.
Covid is over.
Since we learned about viruses, the always mutates to less deadly, therefore more transmissible.
End of story.
Scamdemic. On steroids.
“ the great reset.....i bet the “new” workers are at slave labor wages.”
Here, in the states, well, in this state, nurses were let go then the replacements were at three times the rate No one was going to come into a strange place and during Covid for anything less than ten grand over and above a six week contract. And they sucked. Productivity sank. Errors rose.
It continues. People getting fired as the hospital is strapped for budget woes
It is more stupidity than I’ve seen since the upper middle class New York teens I associated with in the seventies tore up the place. High on dope.
And I’ll bet that they are poorly trained, too.
Globalists have no national loyalty.
Duh-
They are “globalists” which should imply a certain way of thinking.
The Euros have been down this same road for decades now. Today they are literally even filling a demographic shortfall caused by their failing policies with the importation of cheap labor from third world nations that are often culturalally incompatible.
It is business. Not there for benevolence. They work for the bottom line. Besides 99% of Americans are not native. They or their ancestors immigrated here just a couple of hundred years or less. America is an immigrant nation unlike Europe or Asia.
You hope?
No, they go beyond normal business tactics.
They will lower standards. They will hire others in who
probably haven’t even had the vaccine themselves.
Some of the medical centers out there were willing to
hire in people just to show the objectors who is boss.
“You wouldn’t follow our orders. You never get to work
here again, qualified, super employee other than that
or not.”
And I’ll bet that they are poorly trained, too.
and poor communication = very dangerous
NYS is doing this.
Let’s put it this way...
You really, really want to eat right and exercise in NYS now.
Foreign nurses fill in amid nursing shortage
From March...
Medical Center Uses Career Growth and Foreign Nurses to Combat Shortage
Meanwhile, in my neck of the Upstate NY woods, I have never heard so many anecdotal reports of medical mistakes as I have in the last few months.
And general attitude about them is to make excuses!!! It’s reprehensible!!
Billings Clinic is just one of scores of hospitals across the U.S. looking abroad to ease a shortage of nurses worsened by the coronavirus pandemic anti-American or racist policies.
