Happy Holidays from National Nurses United
2021 is wrapping up. We worked hard and, even as we faced challenge after challenge, we grew stronger and more united than ever before. From winning the first workplace emergency temporary standard since 1983 to bargaining victories across the union, we’ve made big moves this year to ensure we can provide the best care possible to our patients.
It’s an honor to fight by your side, work together, and laugh when we can. We couldn’t — wouldn’t — do it without you.
Happy Holidays From RN Response Network
Warmest wishes for a safe and happy holiday season, and a wonderful new year. Our heartfelt thanks for being there, and always ready, to help those in need.
