ENGLEWOOD — Two nurses from Englewood Hospital and Medical Center returned Friday from Haiti, where they spent an emotionally intense 17 days treating hundreds wounded in a massive earthquake.

Surrounded by their fellow nurses, Cathi Goldfischer and Arlene Keys, who have worked in the hospital’s Emergency Room for more than two decades, held back tears as they described the hundreds of patients who walked several miles searching for help, often with open wounds severely infected with gangrene.

If you believe that your local may go on strike it is important to sign up for agency work at this time. More importantly you need to collect data which I sin you personnel or health record in administration. Check the 7 bullets of the attached document and make sure that you obtain this information before any strike or lockout begins. Once a job action begins administration will not permit you to enter the hospital.
