A B.C. nurse has spoken with Global News about her experience working the front lines at Royal Columbian Hospital regarding drug use.

Chelsea Robertson, an intensive care outreach nurse at the hospital, is the latest to ring the alarm about open drug use as well as the challenges that nurses and health-care workers are facing at hospitals.

“The patients keep (the drugs) hidden in their bag and then use them on site when we are not looking. I’ve seen that happen,” she said. “I spent most of my Christmas Eve up there, just pushing Narcan and trying to make sure everyone was safe.”

Global's Angela Jung reports.
