I’m taking a family member for surgery at Meriter tomorrow - one that can’t be postponed - and I’ve been hearing from friends who are CNAs there how difficult it has been working with the traveling nurses. I realize the strike was scheduled for just these five days (this time around), but the uncertainty is not reassuring.
I hope the nurses are faring well with this agreement!
Thanks for the update, Omaha Steve!
