Date:8/24/2009

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Outraged by the ongoing harassment by Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), dozens of registered nurses from HCA facilities across the country will travel to Las Vegas today to show their support of nurses from the company's MountainView Hospital, after management refused to allow them the choice to freely join the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC).

RNs were pulled from the bedside on a daily basis to attend mandatory anti-CNA meetings, leaving patients without adequate care. As the election date approached, threats, surveillance, and interrogation became commonplace.
