Nurses don’t turn away from a crisis.

This week on “State of the Unions” podcast, we had the opportunity to talk to National Nurses United (NNU) Executive Director Bonnie Castillo, RN, about the “Medicare for All” campaign, nurses’ history of organizing and the impact of nurses in the community.

Here’s an excerpt:

Nurses don’t turn away from a crisis. They go toward it. And what we need is for our elected leaders, our politicians to not get sidetracked, not go another way, but to go toward that crisis with a real systemic fix. So being in the industry 24/7, we are always pushing back on management’s attempts to shortchange our patients.
