Providence Everett strike: 520 nurses hired to replace 1,330 [View all]

EVERETT — Providence Regional Medical Center Everett has replaced more than 1,300 striking nurses with 520 travel nurses and “hundreds” of volunteers, hospital leaders announced Thursday.

Regional CEO Kristy Carrington previously declined to reveal the exact number of replacement nurses, but announced the numbers on the third day of the strike over staffing at the hospital.

Union nurses walked off the job around 6 a.m. Tuesday and planned to picket both Everett campuses until Sunday morning. Providence hired temporary nurses from a staffing agency to care for patients, ensuring a “seamless transition.”

Carrington said the hospital is operating well with half its usual workforce, and replacement nurses have provided “high-quality and safe care.” But Carrington also said the current workforce “would not be sustainable on a long-term basis.”
