When facing an organized labor strike, U.S. Nursing helps facilities negotiate from a position of strength. In the event of a job action, U.S. Nursing provides a core group of proven healthcare professionals -- ensuring continuous, high-quality patient care throughout the duration of the work stoppage. Along with experienced clinicians, U.S. Nursing also provides executive on-site support during the strike event to stay updated on changes, strategies and communication. U.S. Nursing is the only work stoppage partner that provides full operational staffing, transportation, logistics, consultation and leadership.
