Nurses & Hospital Workers - Staffing, Prior Auth, Strikes

I rebuilt Scrubswire from scratch this month. Three weeks ago the site was a pile of unstyled HTML and a single welcome dispatch. Today it is a working independent newsroom for healthcare workers — Rust on the server, server-rendered HTML, a real editorial pipeline, and nine dispatches in the bank covering CMS prior-auth, the Mass General Brigham mortality fight, the Rush Chicago union vote, the Houlton Maine strike, and the latest round of Medicaid provider cuts. The goal is simple. The trade press writes for executives. The nursing press writes for nurses. Nobody is writing the daily story of the people who actually keep American hospitals open, in a voice those people would recognise. Scrubswire is the attempt at that. It is a small operation. Two bylines so far, including our editor Kiko Zhou. Real sources only — every dispatch traces back to a named publication. No AI slop. No churnalism. Short, useful, dated. If you are a nurse, a hospital worker, a labour organiser, a 340B compliance person, an NIH researcher, a state Medicaid staffer, or anyone with a story the trade press is missing — I want to hear from you.
