yes, it is. And hospitals are so used to just treating the staff any way they like, and nurses have been just taking it for so long. It's good to see these nurses standing up for themselves. I don't work in a hospital any more, and this is part of the reason. Nurses just leave the bedside, or go to travel to make money and have appropriate breaks between assignments. So maybe some changes will happen. I'm always hopeful that our health care will improve, from Pharma to health care staff, to facilities and treatment!

Well...we can hope...but I do believe the present system is totally broken and unsustainable...I believe only those hospitals that operate outside this closed system have any hope.

By us the smaller hospitals are being bought out by these mega hospital systems and the hospitals are building like crazy with all the covid money they got by killing and maiming people...sorry but that is the way I see it...I just thank God for medical personnel that resist and speak the truth...such as these nurses...

The same thing is happening by me. In fact, the current ceo of our county hospital gets a two million dollar bonus if he negotiates a sale while he is ceo.
