Nurses at Washington, D.C.'s Washington Hospital Center have set March 4 as the date for their one-day strike, according to a Washington Business Journal report.
About 1,600 nurses are protesting attempts to cut nurses' pay as well as a lack of progress on resolving alleged patient safety problems and nursing standards, according to the report.
