For every nurse complaining about short staffing you need to do this!

Nurses General Nursing

We have a member who is asking for our help. She is requesting that we sign a petition that will help put safe staffing ratio's into place in Nevada. Currently Nevada has surpassed California as the state with the worst nursing shortage, and we need to help our fellow nurses. I urge any of you who have experienced the routine short staffing so many of us complain about to sign this petition. When New Jersey signed into law the abolishment of Mandatory Overtime in that state, much of it had to do with letters that were written from nurses all over the country urging New Jersey to be the first to take a stand. Do this for your fellow nurses.

Copy/ paste from the activism forum.

Please come and sign a petition to lower the Nurse-to-Patient ratio in Nevada. It's a safety issue. Go to:

We're not getting younger. Its just that the 47 yr olds have retired and are gone from the equation already!

I signed...I wish Alabama would have a certain nurse to patient ratio...

Its not going to happen by magic. Staff Rns are going to have to get involved & MAKE it happen there -- the same way staff RNs have made it happen elsewhere.
