PHNs Strategize for the Future at Historic Conference

Lisa Leighton

Over 100 PHNs participated in a historic conference on April 15th in San Francisco. The lively gathering was the first ever statewide meeting held solely for Public Health Nurses. "United, we can get to a place where we have concrete solutions that enable us to become part of the solution," said Lisa Leighton (pictured), PHN, Local 1021. "But we can’t have the conversation with policy makers unless we first have those conversations with ourselves."

Priority No. 1 for 2011: Addressing Workplace Violence

Death job description

SEIU Local 1000 members have held several rallies with other state hospital employees as part of the Safety Now! Coalition since the Nov. 16 murder of Donna Gross.

The SEIU Nurse Alliance of California has been working in recent years to help improve protection for nurses and other healthcare workers against violence in the workplace. But two nurse murders in recent months have highlighted the urgent need for reform in California, and show that stronger measures will be required. 

Another Priority for 2011: Safe Patient Handling

Becky Long small

Our Nurse Alliance steering committee has decided the time is right to push for a safe patient handling bill in California, and has made the issue another big priority for 2011. In recent years, we have known that there was little recourse for RNs who see the need for patient handling safety improvements at their facilities. Nothing illustrates the need for new legislation better then the story of Becky Long, the secretary-treasurer of SEIU Local 121RN, who worked for more than 30 years at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center.

New Study Shows Our Nurse-Patient Ratio Law is Saving Lives

Lorraine Thiebaud

A new study released from Health Services Research shows the California nurse-patient staffing ratio law law is having a dramatic effect on our society, is preventing the deaths of thousands of people, and has improved nurse retention in California. “We can all be proud, this study clearly shows the dramatic impact that nurse citizens can have,” said Local 1021 RN Lorraine Thiebaud (pictured).
