Please join me in my effort of showing support to S. 73, the Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act of 2007. The purpose of this bill is to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act in order to provide patient protection by establishing minimum nurse staffing ratios at certain Medicare providers, and for other purposes. Studies have shown that nurse staffing levels and skill mix make a difference in the outcomes of hospitalized patients.
This bill will benefit the community at large by lowering mortality rates, disease complications, hospital costs and improving health care plans.
If you want to view the full text of the bill, you can click on the link on the right side of this post. Thank you so much!!!
I was checking the board earlier and just kind of sat there staring at the screen because this momentum feels completely surreal. It is honestly wild to see so many people connecting with the need for better hospital standards since I really thought I would be out here shouting into the void by myself.

My sister is a nurse and she works 12 hour shifts without even getting a break. It is dangerous for the patients when they are that overworked. Pass this bill now.

Nurses are burned out. We need those ratios set in stone or nothing is going to change.
