from a non unionize point of view, it is up to the facility on who they fire and who they keep. so if they decide to keep the "seniority" ranks, then yes your friend is unfortunately out of luck based on hours work.
however if the employer failed to do a check and hired "illegal nurses" the fault lies on the employer. unless the employee faked a certificate saying they were registered nurses, then the employee should be punished.
the thing is, when the facility demoted their "nurses" to care aids, it doesn't sound like the facility requires registered nurses to work there. however, if the facility needs certified care aids to work (by definition somewhere in an act or regulation), then there in itself lies a problem.
to play the devils advocate, your friend can start digging what the facility designation is and see what is required of this facility. and perhaps start complaining how there are unqualified workers working there.
but if your friend is a registered nurse, just hop onto vgh or another hospital. i am sure they will find quick work fast.
