Preparedness for our nurses

Thanks, Tina for this info:                    

Hi (Name).

I wanted to send you an important action that you can take with NNU right now to protect all nurses and front line health care workers in the US. We are supporting a bill in Congress called H.R. 6139, the COVID-19 Worker Protection Act of 2020. This bill calls on OSHA to enact a Temporary Emergency Standard for all hospitals and facilities across the country. It will make sure nurses and health care workers have personal protective equipment (PPE) needed to address this crisis safely. It is crucial that we pass this bill as soon as possible. Please use NNU’s COVID-19 hotline to call your member of Congress: (202) 335-6015 and urge them to pass this bill – you can follow the instructions when you call.

Please forward that hotline number to other nurses, family, or friends and ask them to call as well.

Thank you!
