National Nurse Suit Could Help Wisconsin Health Care Providers

(Ted Ehlen, WRN) A nationwide negative for the nursing field could turn out to be a positive for Wisconsin health providers.

A report from NBC news states a lawsuit has been filed against four agencies who renew contracts of travel nurses, then slash their pay by as much as 50%. The Wisconsin Nurses Association believes that action could lead more nurses to stay in the state.

The association’s executive director, Gina Dennik-Champion, tells WMTV in Madison the circumstances are an opportunity for Wisconsin health systems to attract long-term help to understaffed hospitals.
