Florida Hospital Patient Protection Act of 2010
Reflecting the hopes and dreams of nurses and patients--and the best scientific evidence—the Florida Hospital Patient Protection Act of 2010 will improve patient outcomes and draw nurses back to bedside by allowing them to practice their profession safely. The act will:
• Guarantee a safe ratio of RNs to patients on every unit in every hospital in Florida. Research has identified unsafe nurse staffing as the cause of many sentinel events for hospitals patients today.
• Assure RNs the legal guarantee to serve as patient advocates
• Establish real whistle-blower protections for RNs who expose unsafe conditions
Call your state legislator and urge them to pass the Florida Hospital Patient Protection Act of 2010!
