BOSTON, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The more than 25,000 nurses and healthcare professionals of the Massachusetts Nurses Association have joined with allies in the Massachusetts House and Senate to file new legislation that would enact safe patient limits for all hospital units through a process led by the Department of Public Health.

Key Points: 
  • "…fewer nurses likely increase the probability that patients do not feel cared for with an adequate amount of time or attention.
  • That legislation would have funded independent research studies on nurse staffing, the supply of nurses, and measures of care quality.
  • In addition to the new safe patient limits law, the MNA is filing with its legislative sponsors nearly 20 other bills.
  • Founded in 1903, the Massachusetts Nurses Association is the largest union of registered nurses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
