Nurses at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts want the hospital to punish or fire the newly appointed chief nursing officer, Diane Thompson, amid claims she fosters a "punitive organizational culture" detrimental to patient care and staff morale, Boston Business Journal reported. The nurses' union cast a no-confidence vote against Thompson, 60-1, citing a dismissive attitude toward the union, as well as nurses concerns about staffing levels. However, hospital leaders call her a "consummate nursing leader and professional" with a reputation for leading change and increasing patient safety, according to the article. The controversy comes amid the health system's recent announcement about reducing staff by 100 full-time equivalents. Article
