Nurses rally for patients’ safety
4 January 2013
| THIEF RIVER FALLS - Registered nurses are rallying in Thief River Falls Friday for legislation to establish minimum staffing standards in medical facilities across Minnesota. |
Members of the Minnesota Nurses Association from Bagley, Bemidji and Thief River Falls will hold the rally from 3 to 4 p.m. at Centennial Park in Thief River Falls. The park is located on 8th Street across from Northland Technical College.
Featured speakers will be Linda Hamilton, president of the Minnesota Nurses Association; and Jean Ross, co-president of National Nurses United.
"Patient safety is slipping through the cracks!" the MNA said in announcing the event. The union, which represents 20,000 registered nurses, said a new survey shows that “nurses’ valuable judgment is being frozen out of safety decisions, and patients are at risk in hospitals throughout the state.”
