Nurse quits her job at Sydney's Westmead Hospital in protest over 'chaotic and dangerous' conditions due to COVID-19 pandemic

Registered nurse Amy Halvorsen will work her last shift at Sydney's Westmead Hospital on Monday after resigning from the job she loves in protest at ongoing staff shortages that she says have left her burnt out and anxious.

After four years as a nurse, she's decided she could no longer keep working in the "chaotic and dangerous" conditions she saw every day on the wards.

The 32-year-old said she was speaking out to raise awareness about the chronic staff shortages that were crippling the state's hospitals.

"I am nervous about coming forward, however, I believe this is becoming a health crisis and the public needs to know how dire the situation is inside the hospitals right now," she said.

NSW records 30,062 COVID cases and 16 deaths, isolation exemptions for critical workers introduced

NSW has recorded its highest number of COVID deaths in a single day since the pandemic began.

In the 24 hours to 8pm on Saturday, 16 people died from COVID and 30,062 official cases were recorded.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said it was a "very difficult" day for the state which has now recorded 727 deaths since the first COVID case was reported in NSW.

NSW Health said those who died were in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s but did not disclose who was or was not vaccinated.

Seven people were from south-west Sydney, two people were from south-eastern Sydney, two people were from Western Sydney, two people were from Sydney’s inner west, one person was from the Central Coast, one person was from the south coast and one person was from northern Sydney.

Pathology insider describes unworkable conditions in SydPath PCR testing labs

A St Vincent's Hospital staff member has expressed serious concerns over conditions at the hospital's pathology clinic, SydPath.

SydPath was last month at the centre of a major controversy when it was revealed the pathology group sent out false negative PCR results to around 900 of its patients.

The employee's concerns were outlined in an email to the Health Services Union (HSU) and obtained by ABC's 7.30.

The email said some equipment in SydPath labs was not working properly and not being fixed; that there was a distinct lack of care in maintaining equipment; and that there were not enough resources to process tests accurately.

Plus, she gasses them to be safe.
