The nurses went on strike, so much for them caring about the patients. They bailed on the patients so the hospital bailing on them is justified. And before you start down voting, I was trained in the Navy as a surgical tech and worked for 13 years in the private sector. I’ve seen both sides, both are to blame.
The nurses are unionized and met with management eight times. They announced a closed ended strike for one day when the hospital would not agree to basic safety in terms of staffing. Basic. The hospital chose the travelers over the nurses.
I respectfully disagree with you that both sides are to blame. Is this bad for the patients for one day? Yes. But what about day after day after day after day of short staffing? One shift short staffed can be disastrous for everyone involved. And hospitals have been doing this FOR YEARS.

If not these nurses, who?
If not now, when?
