Bonnie Castillo
Executive director, National Nurses United
Castillo has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration and health system leaders as frontline nurses have complained about shortages of personal protective equipment and gaps in safety protocols. “Nurses signed up to care for their patients. They did not sign up to die needlessly on the front lines of a pandemic,” she said in late May after the union released a survey revealing that 87% or members reported single-use N95 masks were being reused, among other things.
