The nurses are tired of empty words from administration claiming to value and respect those of us who have continued to care for our community despite unprecedented obstacles. The hospital claims to value retention of skilled nurses and a desire to retain them but have failed to take any action to prevent nurses from leaving. The nurses demand action now to show the employers commitment to retaining staff. Our ask is that administration respond as soon as possible with a good faith counteroffer to our proposal submitted on Dec. 29, 2021.
