Our employers aren’t doing enough to #ProtectNurses. We have a few ideas to make this a real #NursesWeek: 💪 federal nurse-to-patient ratios, 💪 #WorkplaceViolence protection, 💪 permanent safety standards, and 💪 fighting to improve workers' rights!

Nurses leave the bedside because the conditions are unsafe — unsafe for nurses & unsafe for our patients. When we cannot provide the care we know our patients deserve, we suffer both #MoralDistress and #MoralInjury. RNs across the country stand united to say: Enough is enough!

Nurses coming off their night shift at Elmhurst Hospital have a message for NYC Health + Hospitals + Mayor Eric Adams: 🗣️ “What do we want? Contract!” 🗣️ “When do we want it? Now!” Stay tuned for our rally/speak out at 12:30PM!

RNs move forward with the largest nurse strikes in Texas and Kansas history! We won't let Ascension's fear tactics and #UnionBusting stop us from advocating for our patients! ✊ nationalnursesunited.org/press/nurses-i…

We made history on the strike lines this week in Kansas & Texas. Every day we come to work & face unsafe staffing levels that put our patients at risk — enough! Nurses have the answers, but management refuses to listen. Ascension: Can you hear us now? truthout.org/articles/nurse…

New Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research paper in JAMA Health Forum shows improving hospital #nursestaffing is ranked high by MDs & RNs as important to reducing their burnout. Almost half lacked confidence in hospital Mgmt. to improve care. #NurseTwitter Karen Lasater PhD RN FAAN (she/her) Penn News jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

Instead of investing in hiring & retaining nurses, healthcare execs are hyping up unproven AI technology. "The [health care] industry really is helping people buy into all the hype so that they can cut back on their labor without any questions.” -National Nurses United’s Michelle Mahon

Nurses around the world stand in solidarity with the Korean Health and Medical Workers Union demanding safe patient staffing and better working conditions. crisis24.garda.com/alerts/2023/07…

GNU welcomes FENASENF as our newest affiliate! Nurses around the world are united to protect our rights, our professional practice and our patients. We are proud to have the nurses’ union of Chile in our global family.

Today, we welcome nurse unions from 32 countries to GNU’s Convention in San Francisco, California! Nurse leaders from all over the world gather to discuss shared issues in public health, nursing practice, and labor organizing, and the solutions nurses are fighting for.

As we conclude the GNU convention, we thank the 183 nurse union leaders for participating, sharing your experiences and expertise, and recommitting to the work must take up together to protect patients, improve working conditions for nurses, and fight for health justice!

Fights for climate, racial, health, & social justice have common enemies: billionaire bosses who are creating unsafe conditions at work, polluting our environment, & profiting from oppression. But together, nurses CAN win and make real change! ✊ #NursePower120

🚨 BIG NEWS! Northern Maine Medical Center RNs voted to join our union family and improve patient care!

California officials want to shorten Covid isolation to 1 day for mild cases. This cowardly guidance abandons our most-vulnerable communities & puts nurses and other health care workers at risk of continued infection. Nurses expect better of our leaders! ktla.com/news/californi…

Some hospitals have been pushing schemes that allow patients to receive acute-level care at home — and they're backed by corporate health care, venture capitalists, and retail giants. Do you think their goal is to save you money AND provide the best possible care? Absolutely not.

Nurses at Northern Maine Medical Center voted overwhelmingly last week to join the Maine State Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee! 🎉 The nurse to organized-nurse vote is a critical step if we want to have a say in decisions about patient care!

RNs at Ascension Saint Agnes in Baltimore rallied last week as negotiation began for a first union contract. After becoming the first private-sector hospital in the city to unionize in November, it's critical we win a strong contract setting the standard for safe staffing!

BIG NEWS! Thanks to tireless nurse & health care worker advocacy, the CDC will revise its plan to weaken infection control guidance! But there’s still more work to do, sign our petition today! ✍️ act.nnu.org/sign/urge-cdc-…

Nurse advocacy works! But we must continue to put the pressure on the CDC to listen to frontline health care workers and patients! Join our fight: nnu.org/CDC
