Austin, Texas: "Ascension Nurses Set To Strike Again on Wednesday"

  • “It's unfortunate that as a nonprofit institution, our administration chooses to prioritize profits over patients,” Matthew Clark, a nurse at Ascension Seton, told KVUE on Nov. 22. “We're here to say that the nurses aren't going to stand for that any longer.”
  • "I've gone home and either cried in my car or at home, knowing that I could have done better, but I was not allowed to,” added Monica Gonzales, a nurse who has worked for the Austin hospital for 19 years.

"Registered nurses at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (ASMCA) in Texas reported today that Day Supervisor, Leighan Graham and Perinatal Director, Rachelle LaBonte, would not allow a nurse to work her shift in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) this morning in anticipation of the nurses’ one-day strike on Dec. 6, announced National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United. As a result, three of the RNs in the NICU had three patient assignments each, more than the number of patients considered safe, even by the hospital’s own staffing guidelines."
