DC RNs Call on City Council to End Delay on Patient Protection Act
Friday, March 7, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)More
than 50 DC nurses and community supporters on Tuesday protested
in freezing weather in front
of DC's Wilson Building, demanding the DC City
Council pass legislation to
protect patients in hospitals by mandating
minimum nurse-to-patient ratios.
Nurses also took their patient advocacy inside
to support Councilmember Vincent
Orange who introduced emergency legislation to
make DC hospitals safer. Further
actions are planned to urge Health Committee
Chair Yvette Alexander to move on
the legislation; click here to sign a
letter to the DC Mayor and
Councilmembers.
