ACTION ALERT on HB4799
Posted over 5 years ago by Julie Huron
Calling all WVNurses! Make your calls and send emails today. Help us stand up for nurses! Ask your Delegate to start putting pressure on the House Health Committee to place HB4799 on the Agenda and to vote YES in support of it! We have 2 chances for this bill to move. TUESDAY, Feb 18 & Thursday Feb 20.
If you work day shift and are unable to come to the capitol next week, please make your calls and emails this weekend.
HB4799 - Patient Safety and Transparency Act would require hospitals to report their recommended staffing matrix versus how many nurses are actually working per shift. It creates transparency, it does not mandate staffing ratios. Please contact your Delegates and the House Health Committee and let them know you support this bill. There are more nurses than teachers and coal miners in WV and we are powerful.
There is LOUD opposition sharing misinformation /propaganda to shut HB4799 down. Let's defeat them together! Please share this email with 5 nurses or more and ask them to call! While you are at it, ask your family to call too! This is nursing activism! Legislators do count the number of contacts they receive to help make their decisions.
