Nurses are well aware that this pandemic has cost many their jobs and we are truly grateful for ours but it has caused a greater burden on our discipline financially.

Nurses have been required to work excessive hours in overtime causing a rise in their tax liability. A lot of this overtime is mandatory and very necessary due to the pandemic. We as nurses/1st responders during this Covid-19 pandemic are requesting tax relief since the overtime can place us in a higher tax bracket. We call on our elected officials to implement legislation for some relief in this matter.

This is an urgent matter for us and a quick comprehensive response is being requested.

Addendum: The title of this petition is heroes/nurses 1st responders

A HERO is a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities. A person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal
