Registered nurses at Jeanes Hospital voted 134-86 to join the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals, a union that represents 1,850 nurses and professional staff in the Temple University Health System. Jeanes, in Philadelphia's Fox Chase section, was taken over by Temple in 2000. The Wednesday election, supervised by the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, had more than 75 percent of the 262 nurses participating.
