Management has spent 2+ years dragging out and frustrating negotiations through bad-faith bargaining, and we won't stand for it. Nurses and our patients deserve better! https://bit.ly/4cJIElz

A transparent screen between them shows logos of Abridge, Palantir, Anthropic, and OpenAI, with options labeled "Consent," "Agree," and "Submit." The image includes the National Nurses United logo and text saying, "A.I. GETS IN THE WAY. Don’t let A.I. come between you and your nurse.
Hospital corporations are spending obscene amounts on A.I. so they can reduce the costs of what we really need — the expertise of bedside nurses. 😡

Union nurses from 22 different states traveled to D.C. to share the reality of bedside experiences with elected leaders.
We need our politicians to step up and fund care, not fear!
Nurses are calling out billionaire greed on the steps of Capitol Hill — corporations and billionaires have rigged our society to benefit the 1%, while the working class are squeezed more and more.
Our demand for our legislators: fund care, not war and terror in our communities.
A true nurse champion, Rep. Adelita Grijalva, joined us for our federal lobby day!
“Nurses are consistently named the most trusted profession in this country and as a member of congress, I know why. You are the first to advocate for patients when they need it most.”
Hundreds of nurses are in D.C. this week with a clear message for our elected officials: Fund care, not terror and #AbolishICE!
Nurses are the most trusted profession in the country. Why? Because we're not afraid to speak up for the truth!
We're on day ✌in Washington, D.C. speaking out against a rigged society that benefits the 1%, while the working class are squeezed more and more.
Nurses are angry that Trump is spending our taxpayer dollars to illegally bomb countries like Iran and Lebanon into obliteration while we are completely abandoning our own people.
The message is clear: Abolish ICE, end illegal wars, and fund health care!
Lawmakers in DC: hear us roar! 📢
Nurse leaders took the fight to #AbolishICE to the streets of our nation’s capital today — because our patients and communities deserve care, not terror!
Trump justifies spending millions to militarize our streets and billions to take us to war, but can't find the money for health care? We know what this is about: Making the rich richer at the expense of working class families.
Nurses aren't going to look away or be silent!
With Trump's massive health care cuts, more of our patients will go without the care they need. Not because we don’t know how to save lives, but because politicians chose cuts over care.
Hundreds of RNs are in Washington, D.C. this week to use our nurse power to fight back!
Nurses are patient advocates!
Hundreds of us are in Washington, D.C. this week rallying and meeting with Congress to fight for our vision of a healthy society. One where we care for each other, where the wealthy pay their fair share, and everyone has their basic needs covered.
Zoe already knows one of the most important qualities of a nurse – advocating for your patients and community.
We have no doubt she'll be an incredible nurse one day, just like her mom! ❤️

History is in the making! Nurses at Rush University just filed for a union election to join our union family — the largest NLRB filing on record in Chicago for health care, and one of the biggest in ANY industry in the city. We're ready. Join us.✊
Some good news: A federal court reversed key parts RFK Jr.'s dangerous vaccine schedule changes.
But nurses know there's still a lot to be done to protect patients — his misinformation campaign has sown doubt about vaccines that will be hard to reverse. https://reut.rs/4e8CFsw
Even a family with two working adults and stable, well-paying jobs can be pushed into financial ruin by a single serious illness. That’s why we need CalCare and #MedicareForAll, now!

RNs at HCA's Florida Fawcett Hospital in Port Charlotte are protesting Friday to highlight patient safety concerns.

Nurses condemn the SCOTUS ruling against conversion therapy bans. We know this will harm many of our patients, families, and neighbors.
Health care is not a political issue to be debated, it is a guaranteed human right!
