A couple of hundred registered nurses held a noon hour rally in front of St. Joseph’s Healthcare to protest ongoing cuts to RN’s.

St. Joe’s has laid off 84 registered nurses positions to help balance its budget. The president of the Ontario Nurses’ Association says this shows that money is valued more than patient care and is urging the public to sign a petition to end the cuts, which will then be delivered to MPP Ted McMeekin.

The ONA says 400 RN positions have been cut from Ontario hospitals this year.
