NY Safe Staffing Petition

We, the nurses of New York State, want to see safe and responsible nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in every hospital — regardless of zip code. We know firsthand the dangerous impact of short staffing on the health and safety of our patients. In 2021, nurses advocated for and won hospital staffing committee legislation to set safe standards in all hospitals, but many hospitals flaunt the rules and continue to understaff units—putting patient safety at risk. We call on the Dept. of Health to enforce the law and hold hospitals accountable for safety!
