NYSNA nurses won a major victory in the battle for safe staffing when the New York State legislature passed the Hospital Staffing Committees law last summer. In January 2022, the new law went into effect. For the first time, there is a process for setting and enforcing staffing standards at every hospital in New York State.

NYSNA Staffing Captains are NYSNA nurses and healthcare professionals who send in daily reports about staffing levels on the units where they work. NYSNA is making the data we collect public. Sign up to be a staffing captain today!
