It's going to be interesting. I hope they do and I hope even more that more laws come into place to
protect healthcare providers on all levels.

I think hospitals never saw it coming. Everything is about keeping patients safe and from suing them.

I would LOVE to see them win,. But hospitals are very very good at protecting themselves and they have endless amounts of money for endless amounts of lawyers. It’s like going up against a giant. Unless these nurses are hella rich or willing to bankrupt themselves in legal fees I doubt that they would be able to pursue long-term cases

And I’m not saying they are wrong in suing, but whether they win or not, then you are the nurse who sued a hospital and who will hire you?

There are other places to work as a nurse and a lot of them pay better at least in my area.

Hard to see that they could win, but there is an argument for hazard pay

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.
