Bakersfield nurses are planning an informational picket to protest proposed layoffs at Dignity Health hospitals. They argue these reductions will jeopardize patient care and safety. The nurses are demanding that CommonSpirit Health rescind all layoff notices. They also want to collaborate on ensuring adequate staffing levels based on patient needs. These proposed cuts follow the recent closure of a burn unit at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital.
