'Breaking point': Nurse on staff shortages in Dunedin

A nurse who worked a late shift at Dunedin hospital last night says the work is exhausting.

Anne Daniels, head of the Nurses' Organisation, works casual shifts at Dunedin's emergency department.

She says Covid-19 staff shortages mean nurses are overwhelmed and feel as if they're covering for multiple staff.

She spoke to Corin Dann.
