What happens when nurses leave?

So I work and have always worked in small town hospitals where we usually have 1 - 2 icu patients, not used to seeing 6 - 20+ ICU patients on the floor. I'm asking since I have been seeing mass "walk outs" and then I think what happens when this does occur? The patients transferred out? The remaining ICU nurses pick up extra shifts for crazy pay? Like I don't get how a hospital could have low staffing then have what staff there is walk out and everything just keeps moving forward ... What happens afterwards?
