Happy #NursesWeek! Congratulations to nurses throughout the state on successfully using our strength in numbers to address long standing challenges in our profession, like workplace violence!

Now the PA Senate must carry the torch and pass the Workplace Violence Prevention Act.

[SEIU Healthcare PA @seiuhcpa]

This #NationalNursesWeek, nurses from hospitals all over Pennsylvania gathered at the State Capitol to deliver our open letter to legislators urging them to act quickly to pass the Workplace Violence Prevention Act and the Patient Safety Act.

[Nurses of PA @nursesofpa]

without any real action. Nurses are calling on the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pass The Healthcare Facilities Violence Prevention Act, which would give healthcare workers a voice in preventing violence in hospitals. Sign our open letter here: https://t.co/vEp9nHS7QC (2/2)

🧵The recent horrific shooting at UPMC Memorial in York was a wake up call. The rise in violence against healthcare workers urgently needs the attention of hospital administrators and lawmakers. We’ve had enough of the rhetoric about how seriously health systems take this...(1/2)

Nurses all over PA are signing our open letter calling on the PA General Assembly to pass the Patient Safety Act, which would establish safe staffing ratios for nurses. Add your name here: https://t.co/vEp9nHS7QC (2/2)

[Nurses of PA @nursesofpa]

The nursing profession is in crisis because nurses enter the profession to care for people to the best of their ability, and chronic understaffing robs us of the ability to do so. It’s no wonder so many nurses are leaving the bedside and 96,000 nurses in PA are... (1/2)

Hats off to Geisinger nurses for standing up for their profession and their community!

Thank you to @SenSanders for having their backs!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

It is unconscionable that Geisinger nurses are not guaranteed quality health care by their employer.

Geisinger: do the right thing. Get back to the table and give your nurses the same quality of care that they provide to patients.

...actual followup when our staff is put in danger.
So we’re calling on the PA General Assembly to pass the Healthcare Facilities Violence Prevention Act, which would give US a voice in preventing violence in hospitals. Sign our open letter here: https://t.co/vEp9nHRA14 (2/2)

[Nurses of PA @nursesofpa]

The steep rise in violence against healthcare workers won’t be addressed until nurses and healthcare workers are listened to and given a seat at the table to address the crisis. As nurses, we’re always told there’s a “zero tolerance policy” for violence, yet we rarely see...(1/2)

🚨Alaska caregivers @seiu775 are speaking out!🚨

They're caring for seniors, parents, siblings, and veterans—and they’re relying on Medicaid to help keep their loved ones alive. Congress must say “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Lives are at stake. #SaveMedicaid

[SEIU @SEIU]

🚨 Medicaid saves lives. 🚨

When Denise’s brother was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, Medicaid covered his care & saved his life. Now, Congress is threatening Medicaid cuts that would put 80 million Americans at risk.

We can’t let this happen. Tell Congress: #SaveMedicaid! https://t.co/CVnAZAEbD0
