YES! I WILL BE THE SAFE STAFFING CAPTAIN ON MY UNIT!
NY nurses are signing up to become Safe Staffing Captains. Our job is to send in regular reports of staffing levels on our units. Sending in a report is easy and takes less than a minute – you just text the number from your phone.
Our goal is to recruit Safe Staffing Captains at several units in every major hospital in New York. The reports you send in will be collected and analyzed by NYSNA to let hospital administrators, community allies, and lawmakers know about staffing issues where we work.
HOW IT WORKS:
Text the message “captain” to the phone number “877-877” Don’t wait - get your phone out and do it now!
Fill out this form.
We’ll text you regular reminders to report the staffing ratio on your unit. All you need to do is text back the number of RNs working that day, and the number of patients assigned. So if there are 3 nurses and 13 patients, you would text back “3-13”. We’ll log your report and include it in our weekly reports.
