Trenton Legislators heard Our Voices, as we called on them to pass an effective, enforceable staffing ratio bill to keep patients safe, keep us safe, and stop the bleed of nurses leaving the profession at alarming rates. It was a great day, so check out the photos from the May 11 Rally for Safe Staffing.

A coalition of unionized nurses and healthcare workers joined HPAE to release a new position paper “CODE RED: Understaffed. Overworked. Unsafe for everyone. One in three nurses have left hospital bedside care due to the stress of crushing workloads. Unionized healthcare workers, patients and communities are pushing for passage of NJ-S304, a law mandating enforceable staffing ratios in New Jersey hospitals.
