Sounds more like the nurses were fired in retaliation for participating in a strike led by their union and the hospital is trying to make it seem like they did it because AI made their jobs irrelevant.
From what I read it looked like the nurses mainly worked in patient discharge, which isn't really a job that AI could realistically do. Half the time there isn't really a lot of information that would be accessible, a lot of the info would be entered after discharge when the attending provider is doing their notes.
