Nurses with Virtua Health System in Marlton, N.J., protesting the lack of a new labor contract, took to the streets outside of several system hospitals Thursday, according to a report in The Courier Post.
Twenty-five nurses held signs and stood on the streets-edge, advertising their concern to people in vehicles passing by. The nurse group wants smaller patient-to-nurse ratios on general surgical floors, an end to abrupt shift cancellations and an increase in pension funds.
A spokesperson for Virtua declined comment on the negotiations and on the shift cancellation practice.
