December 2023 Travelers Award Winner, Aufre Campbell - Daisy Award Winner (Twice!)- "The DAISY Foundation expresses gratitude to Nurses with programs that recognize them for the extraordinary compassionate, skillful care they provide patients and families. By honoring compassionate nurses, DAISY reinforces the importance of compassion in healthcare."

The largest nursing strike in U.S. history unfolded in September of 2022 in Minnesota, where approximately 15,000 nurses, represented by the Minnesota Nurses Association, embarked on a three-day strike. This monumental event impacted 16 different hospitals.

Strikes among nurses have surged in recent years, and the reasons are more complicated than you may realize. The incredible individuals who make up nursing aren't striking without cause. They're standing up for their rights, well-being, and, most importantly, their patients.

Strike Nurses are not “scabs.” They are not a temporary cover-up for an underlying issue. They are committed, empathetic healthcare professionals who step up to ensure that patients continue to receive the essential care they need when staffed nurses are fighting for their worker's rights.

Nurse strikes are increasingly making headlines, raising a popular question: 'What happens during a nurse strike?' U.S. Nursing is a leader in these job actions and runs hospital operations to the highest degree when strikes happen.
