As frontline healthcare workers, nurses are at high risk of exposure to infectious diseases, including novel pathogens that result in hospitalization. NYSNA’s health and safety representatives are committed to educating and advocating for our members to improve the health and safety of nurses and our patients.
2023 was NYSNA’s most successful year to date. This year, our members kept up the momentum, proving that when we lead from the frontlines, we are unstoppable. We built upon prior contract and policy victories and won in every part of the state. Uniting with our union siblings around the country, we are confronting some of the healthcare industry’s largest issues and building nurse power for our patients, profession and future.
