About 5,000 nurses at Stanford Hospital and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital remained on strike Tuesday as leaders began bargaining in the early morning.
About 5,000 nurses at Stanford Hospital and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital remained on the picket line Tuesday as leaders began the first day of negotiations in the early morning.
On Monday, Stanford Health Care and Packard Hospital canceled appointments, postponed surgeries and sent chemotherapy patients to sister hospitals as the thousands of nurses walked off the job Monday, forcing hundreds of traveling nurses to scramble to meet patient demand. Holding signs that read “Stanford hates caregivers” and shouting slogans like “shame on Stanford” as drivers blared their car horns in support, nurses appeared more than ready to pressure Stanford indefinitely until a “reasonable” contract is reached.
Stanford has signed a 5-day contract with the traveling nurses through nurse staffing agencies HSG & Aya, according to the Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement, the union that represents nurses at Stanford and Packard.
