Join Tim Peck for a Virtual Fundraiser & Discussion of Improving the Nursing Experience

I will advocate for legislation that establishes safe nurse-to-patient ratios in hospitals and healthcare facilities. This ensures that nurses can provide the attention and care each patient deserves, ultimately improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Healthcare institutions that prioritize patient care through adequate staffing and training should be rewarded. I will push for financial incentives for facilities that excel in providing high-quality healthcare experiences, leading to better patient outcomes.

Strong unions are vital for securing fair wages and working conditions. I will champion policies that bolster nurses' unions, ensuring that nurses have a voice in their workplace and the resources they need to advocate for themselves.

Nurses should not be burdened with crippling student debt. I will work to reform nursing school loans, ensuring they have manageable interest rates that allow nurses to focus on their careers without financial strain.

To attract the best talent globally, I will advocate for nursing to be recognized as a STEM profession. This change will help us recruit qualified nurses from around the world, addressing the current nursing shortage.

I will fight for payment models that explicitly support nursing provisions and ensure high-quality, cost-effective care. By prioritizing nursing in these models, we can achieve the "triple aim" of better health outcomes, improved patient experience, and lower costs.

Investing in nursing reform doesn’t just benefit healthcare; it stimulates the economy in several crucial ways:

• Facilitating Workforce Participation: By ensuring patients receive proper care and recovery support, more individuals can return to work, contributing to a healthier economy.
• Reducing Medical Errors: Better staffing and training lead to fewer medical errors, which translates to lower costs for both healthcare facilities and patients.
• Smart Resource Allocation: Focusing on adequate nursing care allows for smarter spending of resources, optimizing healthcare delivery and efficiency.
• Lowering Hospital-Acquired Infections: Improved nurse staffing levels reduce the risk of infections, further decreasing hospital costs and enhancing patient safety.
• Supporting a Stable Middle Class: Strengthening the nursing profession contributes to a stable and healthy middle class, creating economic opportunities and promoting community well-being.

Together, we can create a healthcare system that values and empowers nurses while also stimulating our economy. Your support is crucial in making these reforms a reality. Let’s work together to protect our healthcare heroes and ensure they can continue providing the exceptional care that patients need and deserve.
