Spend on nurses, not bosses

A story in the March 25 edition reported the top 10 white-collar wage earners at St. Joseph’s Healthcare and Hamilton Health Sciences collectively took home more than $5 million in 2022.

Some of the job descriptions seem very similar. What do these paper-and-pen pushers all do? Have they saved any lives lately?

The average starting salary for nurses graduating out of college is $46,000. My math shows the $5,368,899 figure would cover the hiring of 116 new nurses, who are urgently needed.

Let that debate be at the top of the agenda of the next meeting of the hospital boards. Denis Gibbons, Burlington
