We call these nurses scabs, have disdain for them, but if you think about it, if it wasn't for them, we couldn't have gone on strike. I know I received a text from a traveling company looking for nurses to cover the strike. As a retired MNA nurse, I sent a reply that I wasn't interested, & it was a conflict of interest so they needed to stop contacting me. I went on the one day informational strike over a decade ago. When I went back to work, the patients told me that they received excellent care . I do know some of the critical care float/ flying squad crossed the line. It wasn't that they were supporting the strike, but they wanted to make sure if there was a code or rapid response that patient weren't in danger because the " scabs" didn't know where things were or how to get want they needed to do their job. Some people were upset with those nurses, but they also made sure we could go on strike & not have to worry about our patients getting the short end of the stick.
