Registered nurses at St. Joseph Health in Brazos Valley, Texas, will hold a vigil for patient safety and safe staffing on Wednesday, June 24. The vigil is taking place after hundreds of nurses and hospital employees signed a petition of no confidence in hospital leadership, citing ongoing concerns about patient safety and staffing and the impact of management decisions on the quality of patient care.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR SAFE RN-TO-PATIENT STAFFING RATIOS
