I have Jennifer and Janet, Who are both members and are involved in the American Nurses Association Talk to me about why the ANA are opposed to Ballot Question 1. According to the ANA these are 3 major reasons why this is a bad piece of legislation. And we talk thoroughly about each of these reasons and so much more. 1. They are not based on any valid science. There are no studies that provide evidence that staffing ratios alone will improve quality of care. In fact, many of the studies that the union cites the most say the exact opposite. 2. The ratios are the same for each unit in every hospital on both night and day shifts — from the largest teaching hospitals in Boston to smaller, rural hospitals in Western Massachusetts. But each hospital is unique, each unit is different, each nurse is different and each patient population is different. 3. The mandate does not account for the acuity of the patient or the experience of nurses working on the unit at that time. Recent nursing graduates would have the same patient responsibilities as nurses with twenty years of experience. As nurses, we know that doesn’t make any sense. All the links from the conversation!
