During National Nurses Week, nurses in New York, led by Nancy Hagans of the NYSNA, are advocating for better safety and staffing conditions. Chronic understaffing causes excessive workloads, leading to burnout and compromised patient care. Hagans emphasizes the dual responsibility of nurses to advocate for themselves and their patients. The push for compliance with New York's safe staffing law is central to their efforts, alongside a need for more communication regarding workplace changes that impact nursesâ daily lives.
Nurses across the Big Apple are advocating for improved safety, staffing and administrational support, particularly during National Nurses Week.
Chronic understaffing in New York hospitals forces nurses to take excessive patient loads, jeopardizing both nurse well-being and patient care.
NYSNA nurses are actively working to ensure compliance with New York's safe staffing law and holding hospitals accountable.
Changes to nursing roles are often made without consulting nurses, highlighting the need for a dialogue on improving their working conditions.
