Well its 11:17 pm here and I just got off the phone with my wife . She is hearing from some staff that reductions in the number of nurses are a distinct probability here in Orangeville as several have been Purlatored layoff notices . Mind you these are not yet official but the fact that they are even sending these out gives rise to less than adequate health care down the road . These notices are just an advance notice to the possible layoff of some staff and will be done on a ward by ward basis . Meaning the person with the lowest seniority on the ward goes they intern will have the right to bump a staff still employed with lower seniority on a different ward . I tried to tell her this was going to happen sooner or later but it was like beating my head against the wall maybe now she`ll take the blinders off
