SB 1067 Save Staffing Legislation

This came up as a FB memory from 9 years ago. 
Unsafe staffing is not new, it was not caused by Covid, and it is not caused by a “nursing shortage.” 
It is a result of the decisions of hospital administrators.

 The status quo is not acceptable. 
SB 1067 sets minimum staffing standards and gives hospital administrators 5 more years to hit them. Ambulances will not back up in parking lots and floors will not shut down. 
Nurses will step up, as we always have, but SB 1067 will force hospital administrators to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. 
Tell legislators to support SB1067
