This isn’t an issue that’s often talked about, but it’s an important one:
safe staffing for nurses.

Practicing safe and effective staffing — mandating minimum
nurse-to-patient ratios — is one of the most effective ways to protect
hospital patients. But right now, there is no federal legislation in the
United States that sets a limit on the number of patients a nurse can be
assigned, and it’s leading to a patient safety crisis.

With every additional patient a nurse is forced to care for, the
likelihood of preventable medical errors increases. In fact, preventable
death caused by medical error is the third leading cause of death in the
United States.

progressives to help raise support for safe staffing. Can you join
thousands of others in adding your name to our petition for safe staffing?

Ro’s home state of California is the only state that currently has a safe
staffing mandate, and it is life-saving for both patients and nurses. The
results of California’s experience demonstrate that mandatory
nurse-to-patient ratios decrease patient mortality and morbidity and
increase patient safety and quality of care. We need to fight for this
sound, life-saving health care policy nationwide.

have a real opportunity to do something about it now. Join us and add your
name to demand safe nurse-to-patient staffing ratios.
