" L9 o- W. x/ e$ C I; c New York City nurses at two major hospitals are on strike. They say their main concern is the care standards in hospitals, including nurse-to-patient ratios. What were fighting for is safe staffing, having the ability to take care of a specific ratio of patients in order to provide quality care and safe care. That s our biggest thing, said Shirley Escala with the New York State Nurses Association. The NYSNA is a union of 42,000 nurses.From California to New York, nurses have gone on strike over similar issues, ranging from pay, to hours, and standard of care.The New York State Nurses Association has been in negotiations with hospitals since mid-September. The current cont vaso stanley ract expired at the end of 2022, at which point the union served a 10 day strike notice. The strike involving around 7,000 nurses began on January 9. If you don t value your more senior nurses in addition to recruiting new nurses, you re going to have a stanley cup workforce that is impaired, not only in numbers, but in terms of their clinical experience and their ability to take care of patients. That s why both are important, Escala said.Following the pandemic, the industry saw a shortage of workers. You had more senior nurses, more experienced nurses, resign, Escala said. Younger nurses were saying, You know what, I don t need to work in these kinds of stanley cup conditions so they left. The National Union of Healthcare Workers saw a record number of new organizing inquiries in 2022, according to a December press release.
