That's certainly a screw-up, and the nursing supervisor (management) should not have allowed it to happen. They must have had someone who was supposed to cover the floor if the regular nurses were going to be gone. In any case, it's hard to imagine that "union rules" said it was ok. Unfortunately, screw-ups are all too common, in hospitals as in everywhere else. When I worked in a hospital, my cow-orkers tended to be of the view that if they had to be hospitalized, they wanted it to be at the other local hospital. I expect that the employees of the other hospital reciprocated the feeling. (Both hospitals were highly regarded in the medical world.)
