A Canadian Hospital Scoops Up Nurses Who No Longer Feel Safe in Trump’s America

Summary: A growing number of American nurses and doctors are packing their bags and moving to Canada. Why? They want to get away from President Donald Trump's policies. For example, one experienced emergency room nurse left California after her hospital erased words like "equity" and "diversity" from its paperwork. She felt it went against what nursing is all about.

Now, places like British Columbia are making it easier for American healthcare workers to get licensed. Since April, over 1,000 U.S. nurses have been approved to work there, and over 1,200 American doctors have started the process to move north! The White House brushed off the news, saying these workers just have "Trump derangement syndrome." Still, the numbers show a huge jump in medical pros heading to Canada for a fresh start.
