Nurse-to-Patient Ratios
National Nurses United applauds the reintroduction of the Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act sponsored by Sen. Sherrod Brown in the Senate and Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the House. This important legislation addresses an epidemic of deliberate understaffing in our nation’s hospitals that puts patients and the public at risk, said National Nurses United.

What Nurses Really Wants
Each year, there’s a special week to honor America’s most trusted profession: nurses! We become nurses because it’s our calling, and we do it for our patients, not for accolades. But we also know that the oath we take to help and heal all people — is constantly hindered by employers who cut corners to boost profits. And that makes management’s “We appreciate you!” box of Krispy Kremes during Nurses Week fall a bit flat.
