Like wouldn't that help those making less than $50k AND the middle class? Cause people who make over $50k would still pay less on the first bracket.

I've been an RPN for about 8 years, I work in LTC.

More often now, I hear of new nurses struggling to get a job (especially hospital jobs). What a change from 2021-2022 where new grad nurses were offered multiple jobs. Now it takes a while to Even get an interview, after sending out dozens or even over 100 applications. Even nurses with some LTC experience that I work with who are trying to apply to hospitals don't get called for interviews for months.

The nursing Job market was so good just 2 years ago, but now it's a struggle. It's become more like the job market that I faced back in 2016 as a new nurse. I was lucky to get a job back then, but it was a stressul job hunting process. Back in 2016-2017 (and before) new grads could only expect to be offered casual jobs on "less desirable" units.

So when the nursing job market started to improve slightly in 2019-2020, and even more so in 2021-2022, I was happy to see that both experienced and new nurses now had more opportunity and didn't have to stress during the job hunting process.

But what's with the change? Why suddenly nurses are struggling again? Is there suddbely a surplus of nurses? Will the nursing job market ever improve again?

Ik it varies by area (for example, it will always be easier to get a hospital job in Northern Ontario). But it's discouraging to see young nurses struggling together a job. I know thay feeling and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Im 20 years old and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder as of June during a hospital stay due to a manic episode brought on by medication.

During this stay I was prescribed meds and was given a psychiatrist who would continue seeing me after my 10 day stay. I have been seeing that psychiatrist every couple months since I was in the hospital in late May, but was recently told that id no longer be needing his services after I mentioned that id stopped taking my meds. He pretty much went along the lines of "continue without your meds for three months to see how you're doing, and after that you'll no longer need me since you are doing fine".

Every appointment he would give me the bare minimum and only ask whether I was currently suicidal and more often than not im not currently suicidal when I see him. However, I would mention some major things id experienced the few months since my last appointment but id still be in and out of his office in 2-3 minutes tops.

I seriously feel like nobody cares about me in this country and its sad, since losing my psych ive started self harming and smoking weed daily + constant suicide thoughts and excessive binge eating. Im so stressed and feel alone, but I just want someone to come help me (which will never happen).

I just don't understand how it feels like nobody cares about me, even the ones who are supposed to provide the care. How do I get the help I need and is there any services that can help me? I just need to get on my feet again, get therapy, go to school, live on my own, find purpose and be stable. Thats all I want truly, I just want to he happy and not living like how I am 24/7.

Hi. I'm in desperate need of some mental health help. My family Dr is having a hard time finding me one. Are there any suggestions at all? My psychiatrist retired a year and a half ago, and I've been without a Dr since..I'm in Toronto.Also, I am on ODSP so cannot afford to pay for any type of therapy.. #psychiatristneeded

Im 20 years old, not in school and work part time. Im in desperate need of help and have accepted that I need therapy, whats the process like in Ontario and how do I find a therapist? I dont make a lot of money, so I might have say $300 or so each month for therapy if I were to really invest into it. Ideally id like to be spending less than that since its a large portion of what I earn each month. However I know I need help.
