Good and more power to them. Hospitals have become stupidly top heavy with administration's and not enough boots on the ground. Patient to nurse ratios are unacceptable for the pay they offer and how quickly we forgot the shit nurses and doctors went through during covid More on reddit.com

the strike is set to start on the 12th. I believe 4 hospitals settled last night. management is definitely trying to paint the nurses out badly and that we’re money hungry, when in reality, yes raises are part of what we’re asking for in the new contract but there are so many patient care related aspects we’re asking for too. also i can’t speak to other hospitals, but my hospital had like 20 full days of negotiations (like 9-5) and management constantly screwed around and would show up late with no notice or say they were going to caucus and leave for the day with no notice. so in reality, they were very much the ones not actually bargaining in good faith.
