Nurses represented by the Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement (CRONA) returned to work August 2 at Stanford and Lucile Packard Children's hospitals after voting to accept a proposed two-year contract agreement, bringing an end to their 50-day strike. The hospitals held numerous sessions last week for managers, employees and nurses to help facilitate the return to work of the nurses. "I think people are working hard at renewing relationships and making a smooth transition," said Felix Barthelemy, vice president of human resources at Stanford Hospital and Clinics. "We're receiving significant cooperation from the union leadership in supporting the orderly return of the nurses. They're working with us wherever we have any trouble spots." The hospitals have been working with all employees to make patient care areas a "neutral" zone where the staff can focus on patients and not debate issues surrounding the strike, he said.
