Registered nurses are set to protest significant layoffs impacting over 175 staff members across 17 CommonSpirit Health hospitals in California. The nurses' union argues these reductions, affecting both ancillary and nursing roles, will compromise patient care quality. They specifically cite concerns about the elimination of pediatric unit nurses at California Hospital Medical Center. The union believes the healthcare system is prioritizing profits over patient well-being. Nurses are concerned about increased workloads and potential delays in patient treatment.
