Presbyterian's Nurses Are Pushing Back on the CDC and Hospital Over Handling of Ebola

[7wo7rees]

On Tuesday, nurses at Presbyterian Hospital voiced their complaints for the first time -- in so many words. Fearful of ramifications in the workplace, nurses anonymously sent their allegations to National Nurses United, where their comments were read aloud by spokesperson Deborah Burger.

The nurses silently listened in on the press teleconference, their identities unknown. Every nurse on the call had some tie to or close knowledge of Thomas Eric Duncan's care. And what they allege went wrong is a dramatic turn from the significantly rosier picture painted by Texas Health Resources.

The National Nurses United has sent a letter to the White House, Congress, and governors across the country to express their concern in nurses' safety. "In the end, the nurses strongly feel unsupported, unprepared, deserted and lied to in preparing for this," said Burger in a follow-up press conference on Wednesday.
