Her employer should have backed her because the science supports their requirements for masking. The parents can do what they please the rest of the time, except for the actual time the nurse is there to care for their kid.

It's a minor inconvenience. They hired someone with the skills and expertise they lacked so they have no rights to interfere with her protocols.
