The Power of USN: Ensuring Patient Care in Turbulent Times

May 9, 2023

Nurses hold an incredibly vital position within our healthcare system. Tasked with the essential responsibilities of patient care, medication administration, monitoring critical signs and communication with physicians and colleagues, nurses are undoubtedly a lifeline of hospitals and clinics. Without their extensive knowledge and tireless dedication, our healthcare system lacks one of the vital tools necessary to provide quality patient care.

However, when nurses go on strike, the healthcare system can suffer. Hospitals may be forced to reduce their services, and patients may not receive the care they need. In these situations, USN steps in to bridge the gap by offering steadfast continuity of care and aiding hospitals in resuming normal operations.

USN is the premier provider of job action services in the country, specializing in supplying temporary clinicians to hospitals and other healthcare facilities during strikes or labor disputes. Distancing themselves from any affiliations with unions or management groups, USN centers its attention on delivering exceptional patient care while ensuring that hospitals operate without interruptions.

When a strike arises, USN mobilizes quickly to recruit and provide temporary clinicians to the facility. With a comprehensive database of experienced clinicians at their fingertips, they carefully screen candidates according to their skillsets and experience before matching them with appropriate hospitals.

Upon arriving at the hospital, USN’s temporary healthcare professionals collaborate closely with core staff, ensuring consistent delivery of patient care. They dedicate time to acquainting themselves with hospital policies and procedures while working in unison with other healthcare experts to guarantee patients are properly cared for. Driven by their dedication and commitment to high-quality care, these temporary clinicians support hospitals in returning to normalcy as rapidly as possible.

In addition to providing clinician support, USN also manages the logistics of a strike. They provide support for scheduling, payroll, and other administrative tasks; hotel and transportation; and daily reporting among other tasks, all of which can be particularly challenging during a labor dispute.

Ultimately, USN's unwavering mission remains crystal clear - deliver continuity of care while supporting hospitals in regaining normal operations. Their focus never strays from providing unparalleled patient care and assisting healthcare facilities during periods of strife. Their unmatched expertise and hands-on experience designate them as invaluable allies for hospitals and healthcare institutions during strikes and labor disputes.
