The New York State Nurses Association launched a lawsuit against a Bronx hospital Monday, accusing the medical center of not doing enough to protect workers on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The federal litigation against Montefiore Medical Center argues that nurses are treating sick patients with "inadequate" equipment, frequently in rooms that were not properly converted to handle a COVID-19 patient.
The lawsuit further alleges that nurses are "often working while they are sick because they have been forced back to work too early" and "often in practice areas where they have never been trained."
