MEMBERS OF THE NURSING STAFF at the Psychiatric Hospital were off the job for three hours yesterday in support of a suspended colleague.
About 15 angry workers protested the indefinite suspension of Rudolph Dates, a staff nurse who was sent home on Monday with full pay by acting hospital director David Leacock.
