ANAHEIM, Calif.—As staff shortages continue to be a problem at hospitals, registered nurses experiencing “moral distress” picketed outside West Anaheim Medical Center on Feb. 14 demanding better work conditions.
About a dozen or so health care workers were standing at the corner of South Beach Boulevard and West Orange Avenue with signs reading, “Patients First in the Hospital,” “Safe Staffing Now,” and “Hands Off Our Ratios. Save Lives.” The organizer said about 50 to 100 more were expected to show up throughout the protest during their breaks or days off.
