#WeAreAllPatients
National Nurse to Patient Ratios, Mandatory Overtime Regulation, & Dangerous Work Conditions
Nurse Nirvana is working to provide a campaign to help nurses come together to enact change through social media and a national hashtag of #WeAreAllPatients to bring public awareness and demand Congress pass safe nursing laws. Together we can help eradicate the top 3 issues affecting nursing today of National Nurse to Patient Ratios, Mandatory Overtime Regulation, & Dangerous Work Conditions.
Sign Petitions To Make Nursing Safer
National Nurse To PAtient Ratios
We have to ask ourselves as nurses the reason legislation is not at the forefront of priorities for our Congress? High Patient to Nurse Ratios affect every person, not just nurses. We are all patients at one point in our lives. Sign our petition to help end unsafe practices.
Mandatory Overtime Regulation
Mandatory overtime for nurses is one of the most pressing of the top 3 issues affecting nursing today. It is a hot topic being addressed currently by various states individually. 18 States have already instituted some degree of mandatory overtime legislation, there is still a long way to go.
Dangerous Work Conditions
It is estimated that 650,000 individuals injured each year in the healthcare industry alone. It is no wonder why dangerous work conditions are one of the top 3 issues affecting nursing today. Sign the petition to let our Congress know that it should be the nurse who decides if they work overtime and not hospitals.
Start today!
Safe Nurse to Patient Ratios Saves Lives! Sign Now!
For too long nurses and administrators have said: “It’s just part of the job”. Some local agencies will do little to file reports and prosecute offenders who perpetrate workplace violence. It is up to us as nurses to disseminate what is “part of the job” and what isn’t and Congress to pass laws that protect nurses in the workplace with harder sentences and zero tolerance laws.
