PLYMOUTH – Registered nurses from BID-Plymouth hospital are feeling unappreciated this National Nurses Day.
Members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association planned to rally in downtown Plymouth Thursday to call attention to their ongoing talks for a new contract with hospital management. The nurses say they are fighting for the resources they need to recruit and retain staff to ensure optimum patient care.
Delegations of nurses planned to hold signs at the entrance to Brewster Gardens and on the lawn of Town Hall starting at 4 p.m. Thursday (National Nurses Day).
Nurses from BID-Plymouth, MNA President Katie Murphy, Plymouth Select Board member Betty Cavacco, state Rep. Kathy LaNatra (D-Kingston) and Pembroke Selectwoman Becky Coletta were among those scheduled to speak at 5:30 p.m. at a rally on the Town Hall lawn.
