Hundreds of Capital Region NYSNA nurses rallied Wednesday in our communities for fair contracts that protect patient care at our first-ever, multi-facility picket at Ellis Medicine and Bellevue Woman’s Center in Schenectady, and Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville.
Capital Region NYSNA RNs from Nathan Littauer Hospital, Ellis Medicine, and Bellevue Woman's Center will rally simultaneously for a fair contract for patient care at a multi-facility informational picket planned for Wed., Oct. 8 from 2 pm to 6:30 pm.
More than 140 NYSNA nurses and supporters marched with homemade signs in front of Gloversville's Nathan Littauer Hospital this week. Our message: management needs to work with us to make sure our hospital is the best place to work and receive care.
On some nights, Peng He, an RN at Terence Cardinal Cooke Hospital, says only one RN is left to care for patients on the subacute unit. "How can one person cover dozens of bedside calls at once? Every night I worry about my patients."
