Strength At Work

Patient advocates need a strong voice on the job. That voice is NYSNA. By standing together, we make sure that our patients get the care they deserve, and that we get the pay, benefits, and respect we need to keep giving care. NYSNA RNs have united and won safe staffing ratios, professional pay and benefits, and a voice in patient care decisions.
