  • RN-To-Patient Ratios Save Lives — Better Outcomes and More Rns
    The Ratio Solution NNU’s RN-to-Patient Ratios Save Lives — Better Outcomes and More RNs The National Voice for Direct-Care RNs RN Staffing Ratios are Saving Lives and Bringing RNs Back to the Bedside NNU stands ready to help you bring ratios to your state Dear Colleague, Today in California, RN-to-patient staffing ratios are the law, thanks to the determined, multi-year efforts of members of the California Nurses Association (CNA)/National Nurses United (NNU). Since the law went into effect in all California acute-care hospitals in 2004, there are nearly 130,000 additional actively licensed RNs in California, and staffing and patient outcomes have improved dramatically. CNA was the author, sponsor, and driving force behind the landmark law, which was signed in 1999. The hospital industry and its allies have tried repeatedly to overturn or weaken the law, but CNA/NNU members continue to successfully defend ratios. As elected leaders of NNU, we were extremely proud when a seminal 2010 University of Pennsylvania study showed that the California law saves thousands of patient lives; surgical units in New Jersey hospitals would have 14 percent fewer deaths and Pennsylvania 11 percent fewer deaths if they matched California’s 1:5 ratios. Patients and nurses experience the effects of the sharp deterioration in staffing standards in hospitals across the country. We expect specific standards for clean air and water, limits on classroom sizes, and staffing ratios for airline, day care, and nursing home staff. Hospital patients are also entitled to minimum safety standards and public protection.
