Health Care
As a nurse who worked primarily on the Medical/Surgical unit but also occasionally floated to the ICU and ER, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for your safety that your nurse have a manageable patient load.
Unsafe staffing can and does result in medical errors and delayed care. Alaskans pay more for healthcare than anyone else, and the quality of care should reflect that fact, but it doesn't. Overall health outcomes in Alaska are worse than those in the lower 48.
I will support statutory safe staffing requirements for your safety and for the well-being of the nursing staff providing care.
