Nurses Healing America in 2012
Wednesday, March 14th - Lansing Center
More than 500 nurses and nursing students from across Michigan rallied at the Capitol at Nurses March 2012 advocating for policies and priorities to heal their patients and communities. This year’s event focused on the introduction of the Safe Patient Care Act, long-overdue legislation to require Michigan hospitals to provide minimal nursing staff in order to protect patients’ care and safety.
