The National Nurses United union is calling for the end of a hiring freeze that they say has impacted operations since January.

Nurses in the National Nurses United union said the Department of Veterans Affairs isn't hiring staff to support proper patient care."It puts us into a mode of crisis staffing where we’re limited on the type of skilled nursing, staff to provide quality care to our patients," local NNU Director Sharda Fornnarino said.

"I think our veterans are one of the most gracious and deserving populations that there are, and typically they’ll share their experiences with me that I’ll never have the opportunity to have," LeBlanc said. He said knowing his patient's medical needs is just as important as knowing his patient's personal needs.
