Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, June 22, 2009
In an effort to build support for mandatory nurse staffing levels, a new television ad asks its audience to "imagine a world without nurses." The commercial, paid for by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, the United American Nurses, and the Massachusetts Nurses Association, urges the audience to visit RNvoices.net, a website advocating rights for adequate nursing staff levels and resources.
The commercial was developed in light of a recently proposed bill by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), named the National Nursing Shortage Reform and Patient Advocacy Act, which aims to establish mandatory staffing and resource minimums to address the nationwide nursing shortage.
