RNs from three Healthcare Systems of America (HSA) hospitals in Florida — Palmetto General Hospital, Coral Gables Hospital, and Florida Medical Center — are rallying this week over patient safety concerns like unsafe staffing and short supplies. nationalnursesunited.org/press/hsa-nurs…

CEOs and hospital execs got an earful from @mnnurses when they showed up to this year's Medical Alley Annual Dinner. nationalnursesunited.org/article/frontl…

The U.S. eliminated measles in 2000 thanks to vaccines. But as cases skyrocket, our public health — and our containment of one of the most contagious diseases on Earth — is at risk. healthline.com/health-news/me…

Nurses at Ascension @SaintAgnesMD in Baltimore are planning to strike over concerns about patient care, staffing, and high turnover. More than 10% of Ascension nurses left their jobs between April and July of 2024 due to these chronic issues! 🤯 cbsnews.com/baltimore/news…

🚩 @CDCgov removed its emergency status in response to #BirdFlu. Here's why that's a bad idea. Infectious diseases threaten nurses, other health care workers, and patients across the country. Nurses know that preparedness is key. Stay up to date: act.nnu.org/survey/id-aler…

When nurses put on an N95 respirator before taking care of a patient with measles, avian flu, or Covid-19, we know it will work. But Congress is trying to eliminate funding for the team at NIOSH who certifies N95 respirators. Fight back & protect nurses: nnu.org/SaveNIOSHCall

#UnionStrong nurses at @UMCNO returned to work today after a two-day strike! Can you hear us now, LCMC? 👀

A bill to restore collective bargaining rights for 15K VA nurses has bipartisan support, but Speaker Johnson is trying to prevent it from moving to a vote. Call your representative and urge them to use the discharge petition to ensure this bill gets a vote: 202-891-4745.

We're short-staffed as it is. Now we have to worry about ICE intimidating nurses and our patients? ICE has no place in our hospitals! 🙅‍♀️🛑

LCMC has been singling out outspoken patient advocates who support our union. They must've forgotten that when you take on one of us, you take on all of us. New Orleans nurses are out in force for day ✌️ of a strike at @UMCNO.

Congratulations @AdelitaForAZ on your victory! 🎉 RNs are proud to support Adelita Grijalva for Congress. She is the fighter Arizona needs to uphold our values of caring, compassion, and community. We look forward to working with you for a healthy future for all.

Why would a hospital retaliate against nurses who speak out? Because they care more about their profits than patient safety. Nurses in New Orleans won't be silenced. If anything, we're growing louder! 📣

Sometimes, fighting for our patients means we have to make good necessary trouble. Join us July 17, we’re honoring Rep. John Lewis' legacy by fighting for health care justice! nationalnursesunited.org/press/bay-area…

Good morning from the #UnionStrong nurses at @UMCNO on strike! ☀️🪧 We organized to have a voice for our patients and ourselves, but management wants to retaliate against those who speak out. We won't stand for it!

#UnionStrong nurses at @SaintAgnesMD announced the first-ever hospital strike in Baltimore! When it comes to our patients, we're willing to make history. ✊ nationalnursesunited.org/press/baltimor…

What do we love most about being a nurse? Easy — the patients.

In our for-profit health care system, there's no way to balance profits and patient care. Which ones do you think CEOs are going to continue to fight for?

What happens when a panel of vaccine experts is replaced by anti-science critics and then gets to make decisions about the future of vaccines? They threaten the health and safety of the public — especially our children. Listen to nurses and the science: Vaccines save lives.

Kansas City area RNs at @HCAhealthcare Research Medical Center are taking a stand against dangerous labor and delivery shutdowns that will impact patient care. We won't let corporate health care abandon those who need us most! nationalnursesunited.org/press/kansas-c…

New Orleans nurses at @UMCNO will go on #RNStrike to protest LCMC Health’s retaliation against nurses for union activity! ✊ “We’re striking to let them know we won’t tolerate retribution for advocating for ourselves and our patients.” – Dana Judkins, RN nationalnursesunited.org/press/new-orle…
