The nation's largest nurses union will protest the White House by reading the names of nurses who have died from coronavirus.
The New York State Nurses Association on Monday filed three lawsuits against the New York State Department of Health and two hospitals—Montefiore Medical Center and Westchester Medical Center—for allegedly failing to protect the health of nurses treating coronavirus patients.
"With no federal health and safety standard, nurses and other health care workers in many hospitals across the country have not been provided with adequate PPE to protect them from exposure to the virus," NNU wrote in a statement. NYSNA's lawsuits allege that New York State's Department of Health and the two aforementioned hospitals haven't provided adequate training, impermeable gowns, masks and other PPE. The union also alleges that the state failed in providing sufficiently safe working conditions for nurses and high-risk employees such as pregnant healthcare workers.
