The rise of the Covid-19 virus has threatened the lives of patients and nurses. But at a time when both parties should be prioritized, health care employers are threatening to cut RN staffing down to extremely risky levels in order to slash costs and up profits. Hospital management greed is fueling the fire and making things worse than they have to be.
