Calling on the government to invest in health human resources to support nurses and health-care workers during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommending strategies that include greater investments via bilateral agreements between the federal government and BC, financial incentives such as wages and retention bonuses to encourage senior nurses to remain in practice, and targeted loan forgiveness programs to support new graduates. Strategies should include immediate deployment of mental health resources to the front lines and additional efforts to ensure safe patient-to-nurse ratios.
