Nursing's "Wake-Up Call"

on may 8, congress will receive a wake-up call from

america's nurses.

be a part of it!

** nurses to send wake-up call **

patients need quality time, not overtime. that's the

message the seiu nurse alliance will deliver to congress

and state legislators on may 8 - as part of our national

wake-up call from america's nurses.

** get involved on may 8th **

come to the u.s. capitol on may 8, and join hundreds

of nurses who'll be sending congress a wake-up call

- literally. we're bringing our alarm clocks and setting

them off in unison. for event and registration information,

if you can't make it to washington, you have two ways

to make your voice heard on may 8.

(1) fax a letter to your members of congress on may

8 and ask them to support the safe nursing and patient

care act. we'll send you a reminder with a link to

a sample letter that week.

(2) join thousands of nurses across the country who'll

make phone calls to their members of congress on may

8.

(a) call the capitol switchboard toll-free at 1-877-611-0063

and ask for your representative and/or senators.

(b) tell them to support and co-sponsor the safe nursing

and patient care act (hr 3238/s 1686).

the more phone calls and letters we send, the more

congress will get the message. make plans to participate

and ask other nurses and supporters to do the same!

** take overtime survey **

more and more nurses are making their voices heard,

and you can too by completing our online overtime survey.

we are using your surveys to demonstrate the crisis

of quality care to legislators and explain how we can

end the crisis through ending mandatory overtime.

to take the survey, visit:
