April 16, 2020
Ten nurses have been suspended with pay from their jobs at Providence St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, after they refused to treat coronavirus patients without N95 masks. The nurses said they weren't provided masks and then told to care for patients. Now the hospital, which said it has started issuing the masks to everyone treating COVID-19 patients, has placed the nurses on paid suspension as they investigate.
