Press releases

RNs at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, Md., gave notice to their employer today that they will hold a strike for one day on July 24 to protest the Ascension management’s refusal to address RNs’ deep concerns about patient care, safe staffing, and high staff turnover during contract negotiations.
Nurses at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, are speaking out against the planned end of their hospital’s labor and delivery, neonatal intensive, and obstetrics emergency care services. Recently announced by HCA, nurses say these service shutdowns will leave patients with fewer options for essential health care for new parents and babies.
Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans in New Orleans, La., are moving forward with their strike to protest LCMC Health’s retaliation against nurses for their union activity and patient advocacy.
Registered nurses at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia, Calif., voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying a new three-year contract on July 9, winning protections to improve patient safety and nurse retention.

Patients: Know your immigration rights

The Trump Administration has changed the rules, no longer designating hospitals, as well as schools and churches, as "sensitive areas," free from immigration enforcement. Nurses make a vow to care for all people, and we know hospitals should remain places of healing, where all people can receive care, without fear. We want to ensure you know your rights.
