Nurses at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester allege that cost-saving measures are causing pervasive lapses in care, including two patients dying after failing to receive potentially life-saving dialysis. The new assertions come nearly three years after nurses there settled the longest nursing strike in state history with the hospital’s for-profit owner, Tenet Healthcare. Now, they say, the situation has grown even more dangerous, with stretched-thin nurses often struggling to do their jobs right. The Massachusetts Nurses Association alleged more than 70 concerning incidents between April and November, from preventable bedsores to unsafe rationing of limited supplies, in an 18-page complaint filed in December with federal and state officials and shared exclusively with the Globe.
