That makes sense logically in our heads that such a course of action might save lives in the long run, a triage of sorts. But the nurses know the patients that would die if they quit, and they know the other nurses they would be heaping the work on, including watching those patients die. Nurses are taught triage, but when that takes the form of walking away from patients you could save to save more you have never met, I think that goes against what draws many to the profession in the first place.
