Consider the following hypothetical situation: You are near the end of your final clinical course, a cap-stone experience in which you have spent almost all of your senior year working with RNs on a medical unit. You have seen how working conditions negatively affect patient care, and you are very concerned. You learn that the nurses in this hospital are unionized and are planning a 3-day strike in 2 weeks. You support their efforts very much and mention the planned strike to your clinical faculty who, you dis-cover, is very “anti-union.” She threatens to fail you for the course if you participate in the nurses’ strike. How do you respond? What is at stake if you strike? What is at stake if you do not strike?
