Registered nurses at UCI Health Irvine in Irvine, California, will hold a rally and picket on Wednesday, October 28, to highlight their increasing concerns about unsafe working conditions and the removal of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) from ICU night shifts.
As California struggles with record infections, hospitalizations and deaths, it’s hard to imagine that hospital industry executives, with the cooperation of state regulators, would come up with a plan to make conditions worse. Sadly, they have.
In the face of heavy-handed opposition by the $1.2 billion District of Columbia hospital industry, a broad cross section of DC registered nurses, patients, and other community leaders today made a compelling case for safer care in DC hospitals.
