Far too many of our nurses have stories like this one, where they’ve faced violence on the job just for trying to care for their patients. No one should fear for their safety at work, and we must fight for safe workplaces free from violence. @OhioStateRN@AFTHealthcare#CodeRed https://t.co/tuHmC9mgKA
Rick Lucas, RN, President & Executive Director, Ohio Nurses Association speaks at the 2024 Rally for Ratios and Mental Health. Nurses are the only ones who stand between patients and corporate greed. The time is now! #SafeStaffingSavesLives#SafeStaffOhio
A #CODERED Press Conference was held this morning. Stay tuned for some important information shared today concerning the safety of our patients, staff, and the future of healthcare in Ohio. @AFTunion@AFTHealthcare#SafeStaffing
Happy #NursesWeek and #NursesDay to our dedicated members fighting for patient safety through #SafeStaffing.
@AFTCT member Danielle Dufour puts it perfectly, "We deserve better, patients deserve better, and healthcare corporations can afford to do better" #CodeRed
For the first time in History a Federal Judge ruled that @amazon Cease and Desist all illegal Union Busting. This ruling is being enforced by the NLRB. Thanks to our historical victory at JFK8 Staten Island Amazon management has to read the 30 page ruling to all 8,300 members.
Rick Lucas, @OhioStateRN: Over the pandemic, nurses have already had to find money to pay for accommodations to quarantine away from family & pay for PPE. They shouldn't have to worry about student debt. The #PSLF allows them to stay in their professions.
House Bill 681 was introduced last week. Read more about this new legislation that aims to curb workplace violence by building upon current law. #TheTimeIsNow to #EndNurseAbuse! https://t.co/1FDBKHkCPf
Ohio continues to make national headlines for the Republican policy mandating genital checks for children.
"Not content with banning transgender girls and young women from playing sports, Ohio House Republicans are encouraging people to hunt them down."

We were relieved see this sentencing was not the worst-case scenario. This case has added a dynamic that not only affects our members’ work, but also presents a new degree of risk that could exacerbate workforce shortages.

With CEA members at work, we were represented at today’s @OhioStateRN informational picket by CEA Staff Consultant Cindy Love, pictured with OSUNO President Rick Lucas. Nurses deserve a fair contract! #SaferStrongerTogether
A BIG #Buckeyes THANK YOU to all our wonderful #nurses! During #NursesWeek we celebrate the fantastic things that you do EVERY day to deliver outstanding, state-of-the-art, compassionate care to our patients. All of @OhioStateSurg are so grateful to have you on TEAM #buckeye! 🙏
Hi @ahahospitals! We have even better ideas for how you can thank healthcare workers! Here are 3:
1. Support a permanent OSHA standard for COVID exposure
2. End your opposition to workplace violence prevention legislation
3. Support #SafeStaffing minimums
Hope this helps!
