Some staffing agencies are offering temporary nurses as much as $2,200 a day should the strike occur, and many hospitals are postponing elective procedures, according to the report.
Nearly 12,000 nurses represented by the Minnesota Nurses Association have planned a one-day strike for June 10, but hospital officials say the impact could feel like a 10-day strike. The nurses are fighting for fixed staff ratios and wage and pension issues, according to the report.
