“Nursing Injuries” or “Don’t Want No Scrubs”

In Minnesota, 12,000 hospital nurses staged a one-day strike in protest of stalled union negotiations related to nurse-to-patient ratios and other concerns. The union felt the best way for nurses to show their care for their patients was to walk out.

Adjusting to the staff shortage, hospitals rescheduled elective surgeries, brought in 2800 replacement nurses, and kept extra doctors around so there would still be a feeling of arrogance on patient floors.

There were no patient deaths reported, but tragically, several golf games were missed.

Insisting that nurses return to work, administrators are demanding more pillows and a sponge bath.
