— Facebook group discussion

"By endangering the lives of patients through severe understaffing and forcing Plaintiffs and other nurses to watch helplessly as the needs of their patients are ignored, the Defendants have engaged in conduct that is unethical, immoral and indifferent to the conduct expected of a hospital, to provide safe and adequate patient care."
