November brings us National Nurses United Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro. NNU Director DeMoro was once again named to the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare list for 11th straight year. DeMoro is the only advocate for nurses or other working people on the list published annually by Modern Healthcare, a prominent national healthcare industry publication.
DeMoro, who is number 36 on the list of 100, is one of only eight people to be named to the list for each of the 11 years it has been compiled. She is also one of only two women to be named every year on a list that is dominated by figures in government and corporate healthcare institutions. She is a visionary with the courage to fight for what she believes in. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to visit with Ms. De Moro and find out what the future holds for nurses, patients and healthcare in the U.S. This live chat will be video streamed from National Nurses United Headquarters in Oakland, California.

COMING UP on the show this week a best of Nurse Talk with RN Donna Kelly Williams on Mandatory Overtime and Author Eileen Kaplan on Laughter vs. Breast Cancer
On August 6, 2012, Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts signed into law Senate Bill 2400, “An Act improving the quality of healthcare and reducing costs through increased transparency, efficiency and innovation.” One provision of the law applies to hospitals as employers prohibiting mandatory overtime for nurses.
In this show, is a discussion on how they did that in Massachusetts. Originally aired June 23, 2102, you can listen to Massachusetts Nurses Association President RN Donna Kelly Williams talk about the Massachusetts State Legislature House & Senate versions of a health reform bill that would ban mandatory overtime. Donna and her street gang of nurses were on the state house steps to support their efforts. Some (non-nurses) may be asking… “Why should I care about this?” You don’t want a tired nurse—now do you? It’s time to take action in your state.
You can listen to a 3 minute twenty second bit of the mandatory overtime segment here:
