Trust violatedRe: Former WRHA nurse ordered to pay up (Oct. 4)

It was reported in the Free Press Oct. 4 that the lead public health nurse at the Ma Mawi Indigenous COVID-19 vaccination centre resigned and was fined $7,000 with costs by the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba after pleading guilty to professional misconduct.

This was a person placed in a position of trust that she violated. This is a person who had lied, accessed her own and other medical files of her friends and deliberately altered these medical files. My question is: where can this person work in the medical field as a registered nurse? It appears she is currently working as a nurse in Manitoba.

How can this be, that someone who pleaded guilty to deliberately altering medical information can still be employed in the profession where she is in a position of trust, and to be allowed to possibly do the same thing again? What oversight is involved in this situation to see this doesn’t happen?

Get postal service back in black

Re: Posties retaliate by resuming strike (Sept. 26).

Finally, the government is taking action to put an end to the financial mess at Canada Post. This started years ago when Trudeau capitulated to a few whiners about loss of door to door delivery, and has just gotten worse year after year.

While I admit that the postal service is still important and necessary, the level of service currently delivered has not been required for many years. Delivery should be changed to every second or third day as there is nothing coming by regular mail that you can’t wait one or two more days for. Fact is that many people with community mailboxes only pick up their mail once or twice a week.
