Union nurses to @capublichealth.bsky.social: Patients in acute psychiatric hospitals need the same safe RN-to-patient ratios as other hospitals. https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/registered-nurses-of-cna-strongly-object-to-state-proposal-on-staffing-ratios-for-acute-psychiatric-hospitals
Registered nurses of California Nurses Association strongly object to and call for corrections to major flaws in state's proposal to set staffing ratios for acute psychiatric hospitals
Through this proposal, the state is attempting to fulfill the original requirements of A.B. 394, the law that CNA nurses fought for more than a decade to win so that patients could get safe, quality care and nurses could provide safe, quality care.
