Nurses across the country reject new Trump Department of Health and Human Services plans seeking to ban the provision of gender-affirming care and to intimidate health care workers who care for trans patients.

Registered nurses at Sutter Health California Pacific Medical Center Davies in San Francisco, Calif., voted overwhelmingly to join California Nurses Association. The election represents a significant milestone for San Francisco as well – Sutter CPMC Davies was the city’s last remaining nonunion hospital for RNs.

National Nurses United has sent letters to members of the U.S. Congress demanding they vote no on pending legislation that fails to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies expiring at the end of 2025, and instead support the House Discharge Petition that is a clean three-year extension of the subsidies.

National Nurses United today warned that the Trump administration’s recent executive order challenging state laws regulating A.I. will threaten the health and safety of patients across the country. The order directs the Justice Department to set up an "AI Litigation Task Force" to sue states over state A.I. regulations.

Nurses are deeply encouraged that 231 congressional members voted to restore collective bargaining rights for VA nurses and other federal workers. This vote is an immensely important step in protecting the rights of federal workers who provide vital services to our communities and care for our nation’s veterans at Veterans Health Administration facilities across the country.

National Nurses United, the nation's largest union of registered nurses, condemns Congressional Republicans’ vote on Thursday, December 11 to deny the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year.

Nurses at the 316-bed facility say they voted to join the union because it is critical that nurses have a say in making decisions in patient care, staffing, and to help recruit and retain experienced nurses, which leads to improved patient care.

Registered nurses at MarinHealth Medical Center in Greenbrae, Calif., will hold an informational picket on Friday, Dec. 12, to protest the hospital’s refusal to address nurses’ concerns about staff retention and patient safety in ongoing contract negotiations.

National Nurses United is outraged that the VA is working to implement this administration’s cruel xenophobic anti-immigrant agenda that will lead to the persecution, intimidation, and discrimination of employees, volunteers, and trainees whose work is critical to the care and treatment of veterans.
