Tell CDPH: End waivers of safe staffing standards!

Instead of preparing for the winter surge of Covid-19, California hospitals lobbied the California Department of Public Health for waivers of California’s landmark safe staffing law, which requires minimum levels of safe registered nurse staffing for various hospital units. Now is not the time to roll back safety standards.

As firsthand witnesses and actual victims during this Covid-19 crisis of a health care and economic system that prioritizes money over people, registered nurse members of National Nurses United are holding on Jan. 27th more than 200 actions inside and outside hospital facilities in at least 19 states and the District of Columbia to demand that our elected leaders, government, and hospital employers take immediate action to save lives.
