According to nurses, it’s just one of many examples of a daily crisis at the Everett hospital.

Providence nurses in Everett are now preparing to strike if they can’t reach a deal over staffing by the next contract meeting Nov. 3.

Last week, most of the hospital’s nearly 1,400 nurses voted to authorize a strike. About 97% of votes were in favor. Nurses are demanding higher pay on shifts when the hospital doesn’t adhere to its staffing plans.
