It didn't need to be this way. 

While at least 91 nurses have died in the United States due to
insufficient PPE and infection control protocols in the COVID-19 crisis
– zero RNs have died in Canada. We’re heartbroken and angry, but to make
change and protect nurses, we need to pinpoint the failures.

Why have the U.S. and Canada had such different outcomes, with our current
system in the U.S. failing so many of us? That’s what we’re going to
discuss LIVE tomorrow with Linda Silas, RN and president of the Canadian
Federation of Nurses Unions, and National Nurses United President Zenei
Cortez, RN.

In order to address this crisis and protect nurses moving forward, we must
share as much information as possible with each other and learn from other
countries’ successes and failures. This pandemic has no borders, and the
more we take notice of what is saving nurses and patients, the more
successful our response will be.

During the livestream we’ll discuss: 

* How access to PPE has impacted nurses in the U.S. vs. Canada
* How the Canadian government's response changed the course of the
pandemic’s spread
* How nurses are feeling in Canada and what threats they see on the
horizon 

We hope you can join us. 

In solidarity, 

National Nurses United

P.S. - As you may know today is Mother’s Day. Without safe
COVID-19 protections, too many nurses are spending today in quarantine
separated from their children. [ [link removed] ]Share our blog post on Twitter to help
us spread the word about what nurses across the country are facing this
Mother’s Day.
