Nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick were on strike for a fourth day Monday. Staffing levels are a sticking point in their contract negotiation. NickJCaloway reports.

-- Nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick were on strike for a fourth day Monday. After contract talks stalled,"Clearly, we're all united for a common purpose here," said Jennifer Kwock.

"If we are spread, too many patients to take care of, how can they get the attention and the care that they deserve, that any patient deserves?" said Kwock. A study released earlier in the year by the American Nurses Foundation found 57 percent of nurses surveyed said they felt"exhausted" and 43 percent felt"burned out."

"It's driving nurses away. If nurses had safe staffing every day, I think we could get a better grip on the problem that's going on," said Local 4-200 President Judy Danella.
