Plain Dealer Article on Nursing Care- MUST READ

Hi All,

In the Plain Dealer was an article about Nursing Quality in Ohio Hospitals. The "vocal group of Ohio nurses" is the National Nurses Organizing Committee. We are preparing to introduce ratio legislation. This article does misrepresent the actual ratio bill but at least it mentioned! We are also disappointed that NNOC was not mentioned or interviewed.

NNOC is the largest organization of direct-care nurses in the US! I encourage all nurses to write the PD and let them know about patient care and how nurses who speak up about unsafe conditions are targeted by their employer!!


This is our chance to speak out! As far as HB 346 goes- it will not require that even one more nurse be hired to increase staffing. The ONA takes the postition that "something is better than nothing" That's advocacy for nurses???????????
