Recent changes to New York State employment law help working parents better navigate work and family and require hospitals to better accommodate registered nurses’ medical and family needs.
In late October, hundreds of NYSNA nurses and healthcare professionals gathered from across the state to celebrate our annual convention in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Over the two-day Convention, members attended educational workshops, met with other healthcare professionals from different parts of New York State, and were treated to a slate of guest speakers that embodied our 2024 Convention theme of “We Are Unstoppable: Building Nurse Power for Our Patients, Profession, and Future.”
As frontline healthcare workers, nurses are at high risk of exposure to infectious diseases, including novel pathogens that result in hospitalization. NYSNA’s health and safety representatives are committed to educating and advocating for our members to improve the health and safety of nurses and our patients.
