Our ability to strengthen our public health infrastructure, our social safety net, and take action to support frontline workers depends on electing candidates who support nurses, healthcare
NYSNA nurses and healthcare professionals won some important victories as the state legislative session ended late last week! Thanks to NYSNA member advocacy and action, the state legislature passed important legislation including:
NYSNA members throughout New York State were horrified by the racist mass shooting on Saturday, when ten people were killed at a Buffalo Tops supermarket, and three were hospitalized with injuries.
NYSNA members have always been proud to defend women’s rights. The draft opinion leaked on May 2 from the Supreme Court would undermine Roe V. Wade and decades of reproductive rights for women in the U.S.
After weeks of advocacy and action, we have a final state budget for FY2022-2023 that adds $4 billion to the original Executive Proposal, raising total state spending from $216 billion to $220 billion.
Nurses everywhere have been following the trial and verdict of RaDonda Vaught, RN, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center nurse convicted on March 25 of gross neglect and criminally negligent homicide for a fatal drug error.
