NHS staff continue to strike in the UK, while thousands leave for better working conditions in Australia.
A candlelight vigil was held Tuesday night in New Brunswick by striking nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey.
The nurses’ main demands are increased staffing levels and a ratio of one nurse to every five patients, instead of the current one to six.
The union says this is a not a step members take lightly, but they have reached a breaking point, with short staffing their top concern.
The date for the strike was timed to coincide with the Coast Guard Festival — when resources come under pressure as 350,000 tourists are added to the city's typical population of 10,000.
