In addition to being on the front lines of the pandemic at work, Marra notes many employees have also dealt with COVID-19 first hand either themselves or with family members. “They are responsible for some very important duties and responsibilities and the care of many people.” (They’ve) had to deal with a pandemic every waking hour of their lives,” Marra said in an emailed statement. “It’s further deepened the overall challenges given the moral distress and the very stressful work environment that we’ve had to subject our people too throughout the pandemic. While he said recruitment challenges existed before the pandemic, the experience over the last two and a half years has “further exacerbated what was already a very precarious situation.” Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare president and CEO Bill Marra said they are facing similar circumstances when it comes to hiring new nurses.

There is "tremendous competition" for nurses across the health care system, officials say.
