Providence Regional Medical Center - RNs
Fighting for ratio language to protect our patients

On day 3 of bargaining, we discussed at length the importance of staffing ratio language to be included in the contract and what that would mean for Nurses and patients.

“Providence said ratio language was a non-starter. For Nurses, not having ratio language is a non-starter and your Bargaining Team will continue to fight for appropriate and safe staffing levels.”

—Carrie Rimel, RN, Bargaining Team

We have yet to hear back from Providence on the bulk of our economic proposals, but we will continue to negotiate in good faith with Providence. We will meet with Providence again May 9, 10, and 11 and will continue our discussions as a Bargaining Team surrounding their proposals to get nurses the best contract.
