@mnnurses on the outside means problems on the inside! #safestaffingsaveslives

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

60% of the hospitals benchmmarled next to Allina hospitals have better RN staffing than Abbott, United, Mercy and Unity hospitals. Patients deserve better! #safestaffingsaveslives @mnnurses

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

@TinaSmithMN and @amyklobuchar , after years of virtual meetings, @mnnurses are excited to be in DC today to meet with you today!

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

@NathanCoulter Always appreciate a political pun!

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

@HeyWintana @TheMulda I’m so proud of their advocacy!

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

@BrianRMcDaniel Are you even that old?

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

Thanks @GovTimWalz! Healthcare workers face decreased resources to keep patients safe. The pressure causes nurses to flee hospitals in search of jobs that allow them to care for patients safely. Investing in nurses is a step in the right direction.

[Minnesota Nurses @mnnurses]

The @GovTimWalz/@LtGovFlanagan Administration recognizes the importance of protecting funds for nurse loan forgiveness and mental healthcare for healthcare workers. It is essential we keep nurses at the bedside to ensure safe patient care. #OneMinnesota

Congratulations to Senator @epmurphymn, RN, on being elected Senate Majority Leader. Nurses do amazing things every day and we’re excited to keep a champion for workers and healthcare reform in this crucial position.

@MNAFLCIO Bernie Burnham calling out hospital CEO’s corporate greed and retaliatory attacks on workers who sound the alarm on critically low staffing levels 💪🔥

[AFSCME Council 5 @AFSCMEMN5]

Thank you @SandraFeistMN and @LizBoldonMN for joining labor leaders today. You are champions of keeping working people safe on the job. Special shout out to @epmurphymn and others, as well, for your heroic work #mnleg #safestaffing

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

So nice of the @MNhospitals to send their comms people and cameras to record nurse comments. Seems a bit ironic when we are talking about preventing retaliation, not making it easier. #healinggreed #mnleg

[Minnesota Nurses @mnnurses]

Tune in today at 3PM! #mnleg #PatientsBeforeProfits

This follows Mayo Clinic killing the nurses union's biggest legislative priority last session, requiring hospitals to give nurses greater say in staffing levels https://t.co/93tCLQtNNh

[Max Nesterak @maxnesterak]

The Minnesota Nurses Association, the union representing about 22,000 nurses, announced its 2024 MN legislative agenda which includes capping hospital CEO pay and greater regulations of nonprofit hospitals

[Rep. Matt Norris @MNfromMN]

Every patient in Minnesota should have safe care, and no nurse should have to leave the profession because of burnout. It’s time to pass the Keeping Nurses at the Bedside Act. #KeepingNurses #mnleg

[Erin Maye Quade @ErinMayeQuade]

Always standing with our nurses! #SafeStaffingSavesLives

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

@GovTimWalz, the Nurse Wrap was the best wrap I’ve had in ages. You should try it!

[Carrie Mortrud @cmortrud]

The Cave Cafe food truck renamed the Boss Wrap to the Nurse Wrap!!! @Cavecafe

We thank you for always supporting nurses. We know you’ll stand with us now when it matters most!

[Shannon Cunningham @Shanderham]

If by “problems” you mean that the covered hospitals will be safer for patients, have more nurses willing to work for them and assurances against workplace violence, then we hope so and feel bad for @MayoClinic that their hospital won’t be as safe.
