So, who's actually working at the striking providence hospitals right now? Are the "tales" true?

I'm curious to know, are these "tales from the inside" (that the striking union nurses are sharing from "sources on the inside") *really* true? Because they seem...pretty far fetched and extreme. I do believe there's plenty of craptastic nurses out there, I have worked alongside enough that make me say "how the hell do you have a license" for sure. I could see some of this being true. But they seem to be perpetuating the idea that all these nurses are just letting patients fend for themselves, essentially. Checking on them "once a shift" or not knowing how to do the most basic things. It's not a secret that unions sometimes do stretch the truth a little to accomplish their goals (look...I am 100% in favor of them reaching their goal of getting a fair contract that is pro-worker. I'm definitely not anti union but I do think there's some degree of skepticism that is warranted here). Some of these claims seem SO absurd and insanely sub-standard that I am having a hard time believing that literally thousands of strike nurses are demonstrating this kind of extremely low level care. Again I know they do exist, but seems...highly unlikely that this kind of treatment is so widespread amongst this random group of nurses. It also smells a lot like pretty prevalent anti traveler rhetoric in general that I am curious to know if this is influencing this.

I only wanna hear from you if you have seen with your own eyes what's going on! ESPECIALLY if you are a traveler (frankly that's a less biased view for this situation) there and can share your perspective of what you see around you with other travelers.

eta - if you want to see some "tales from the inside" that I am referring to pop on over to this instagram - drjenniferlincoln - she is a doctor who is also on strike (pretty cool that both the docs and nurses are on strike together) and has been sharing news related to the strike
