"For a month and a half, through some of the harshest weather this city has seen in years, nurses at NYP showed this city that they won't make any compromises to patient care. They stood in the cold, snow, ice and wind, along with their union siblings, fighting back management's attempts to cut corners on care and secured contracts that improve enforceable safe staffing ratios, improve protections from workplace violence, and maintain health benefits with no additional out-of-pocket costs for frontline nurses, said NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN, BSN, CCRN."
