"It's really disheartening,"
"It does not feel like the students have any say or that they're keeping our best interest in mind at all."
"If this goes on for too long, our entire nursing program may just get delayed by a semester. And if that happens, then that's Nova Scotia's largest nursing program missing graduates or having all of them delayed, that's going to further impact the health-care system that needs us very badly."
Dalhousie University locked out members of the Dalhousie Faculty Association after the parties failed to reach a collective agreement for nearly 1,000 faculty, librarians and counsellors. The union began a defensive strike two days later. The lockout and strike began less than two weeks before fall classes, disrupting students and parents who had already made travel arrangements. An accelerated three-year nursing cohort expressed stress about condensed instruction, potential curriculum gaps tied to licensure requirements, mental-health risks from burnout, and the prospect of a semester delay that could reduce timely nursing graduates and strain Nova Scotia's health-care system.
