"We're going to have to have several informational sessions because there's a lot of nurses and a lot of them are either on a vacation or more than likely they took other jobs, temporary jobs…and they need to be able to have the time to get to the informational session,” says nurse Louise Gurgui.
The nurses went on strike to protest what they called unsafe staffing practices.
It was not clear when the informational sessions would take place.
