Sask. nurses call out ongoing ER overcrowding in Saskatoon [Video]

The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) is once again sounding that alarm about the current state of the emergency room at St. Paul’s Hospital.

The union and the provincial NDP are calling on the health authority and government to fix the system before it causes someone to lose their life.

It began Tuesday when SUN posted on X, saying the situation is critical and they want the government to act immediately.

“I have been in communications with our members at St. Paul’s Hospital and university, in their emergency rooms, and they’re telling me that this is the worst it’s ever been at St. Paul’s Hospital,” SUN president Tracy Zambory told CTV News.

The SUN president says the state of St. Paul’s ER is worse than it was when nurses rallied in November, calling for vital changes to the system.
