the employees gave plenty of notice, they handed in their resignation in december and were scheduled to start this monday.
they weren't headhunted, 1 member of the team wasn't happy at the hospital and decided to get a job at the other hospital, and when the other members of the team realized the pay, benefits, and hours at the other hospital were better most of them decided to apply for a job there too(that hospital didn't approach them, or even knew they were all part of the same team, and they all independently decided to apply)

the hospital's response to their timely notice was not to counter offer or hire new employees, but to cut their hours to 0, lock them out of their accounts, and then sue the new employer to stop the hiring(while not allowing the employees to do their old jobs!)

patients also weren't the issue.
they were moving to a nearby hospital, and due to the nature of their job they didn't have scheduled patients that would be inconvenienced by their absence.
