The New Brunswick Medical Society points out that staffing issues are making it harder to keep the province's healthcare system running smoothly. Staffing problems are also challenging doctors and nurses, who are desperate for a break or leaving the field altogether. Hospitals are currently looking at ways to deal with the needs of an overstressed workforce that needs some time off and there are plans to slow down operations in some departments to assure continuity of services.
