Ohio's nurses are being stretched beyond safe limits -- and patients are paying the price. Chronic understaffing in Ohio hospitals leads to longer hospital stays, and worse outcomes for patients. It also drives experienced nurses out of bedside care entirely, creating a cycle that puts every Ohioan who walks through a hospital door at greater risk.

The problem isn't a shortage of nurses. It's a system that allows hospitals to ignore patient and staff safety with zero accountability. Two bills being debated in Columbus right now would change that.

Send a message to your state legislators today: Ohio patients and nurses can't wait any longer.
