If you, or anyone you care about, ends up in the hospital, you'll want HB321 to pass.

Hospitals nationwide are reducing the nurse to patient rations to save money.  Reduced nurse-to-patient ratios results in:
  • increased unnecessary deaths
  • increased hospital related injuries
  • nurse burnout and staff turnover which ultimately costs consumers money and results in worse care
New Mexico House Bill 321 sets minimum nurse to patient ratios.  The bill is based on a similar law which has proven successful in California.  Let legislators know that you support HB321.  Sign today.

These poor nurses are run into the ground. They cant give good care if they are exhausted. Fix this now.

I had a surgery last year and barely saw a nurse for hours. Scared me to death. Too many patients for one person to handle
