Three RNs at @ProvCalifornia Saint John’s Health Center were told to enter patient rooms in the #COVIDー19 unit WITHOUT N95 respirator.
Even though there are plenty of respirators available.
Even though physicians had advised them to only enter with the proper protection.

Today, more than 50 nurses showed up in force to demand:
✊ the return of suspended nurses without discipline,
✊ transparency in PPE supply,
✊ N95s for ALL #COVIDー19 COVID-19 positive and rule out patients, and
✊ paid leave for RNs who test positive for COVID-19!

UPDATE: Due to the mounting pressure led by union nurses, @ProvCalifornia St. John’s Health Center has announced that these three nurses will return to work without discipline. Solidarity works! 💪🏽
