National Nurses United

There’s nothing spookier to management than our collective power! ✨

Nurses around the country are coming together for a pre-election rally to demand every vote be counted! It’s time to abolish ICE, purge Palantir, and win Medicare for All. The first 200 attendees will get a FREE light stick and t-shirt!✨ Can you join us? nnu.org/Oct27

Union nurse leaders canvassed for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in Michigan this week! We went door to door to tell voters how much nurses support #MedicareForAll and Abdul for Senate! Together, we can fix our broken health care system & build something that works for all of us!

Great news! Our lawsuit successfully blocked Trump’s fascist Department of Homeland Security from harassing and intimidating voters in nine states. Trump knows he can't hold onto power without illegally suppressing our vote. Union nurses won't allow it. https://bit.ly/3WHyLjC

In July, Maine nurses presented the Houlton Regional Hospital Board of Trustees with a letter of no confidence in CEO Jeff Zewe and invited them to meet to discuss it. They ghosted us. So we're making the letter public. 👀 https://bit.ly/4BkWeXI

Tomorrow: Rush nurses in Chicago will hold rally to demand enforceable #SafeStaffing standards amid the proposed Rush and Endeavor Health merger. https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/rush-nurses-hold-rally-for-patient-safety

Prime Healthcare's Central Maine Medical Center could lose Medicare funding due to sterile processing failures and other issues. When Prime cuts corners on patient safety, it puts our communities at risk!

Mark your calendar, Chattanooga Memorial nurses! We're fighting for safe staffing, adequate supplies and equipment, job security, fair scheduling, and more! 📍 SCN Boardroom 🗓️ Tue. Nov 17 & Wed. Nov 18 🕰️ 6:00-9:00am | 11:00am-2:00pm | 6:00-9:00pm

Raise your hand if you are fed up with our broken health care system.✋ The people want more than incremental change. We want #MedicareForAll! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/04/medicare-for-all-democrats-midterms

Wichita nurses at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis and St. Joseph hospitals just ratified a new contract that guarantees: ✅ #SafeStaffing improvements, ✅ Workplace violence prevention language, and ✅ Benefits to help retain and recruit experienced nurses!

Not only are ICE agents shooting people with abandon, but they're blocking or denying medical care for their victims. 😡 We can't let this level of warfare against our own people be normalized. ICE is a threat to our public health and must be abolished! https://bit.ly/4s3oB8Q

Nurses at four hospitals – which employ 4,500 nurses and serve 1.7 million patients a year – filed to join our union this week! This momentum confirms what we already know: Unions are more popular than ever and workers are fed up with the status quo. ✊ https://bit.ly/4hSanCV

Nurses are no strangers to bosses' intimidation tactics. Using the justice system to intimidate us is straight from the authoritarian playbook. Solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar. Nurses won't stand for this abuse of power & will never be threatened into silence. https://bit.ly/4B2iu8F

Union strong nurses were thrilled to join Bernie Sanders and Troy Jackson in Maine this weekend to say: Hell no to the status quo! Nurses' vision for a healthy society is what we know we deserve, not what the billionaires want us to accept!

Prime Healthcare has paid more than $100 million to settle allegations of falsifying records, upcoding patients, and unnecessary admissions! 🤯 What do you have to say for yourself, Prem?

Nurses rallied in D.C. today because families deserve health care they can count on. Washington Hospital Center postpartum unit must reopen! Closures and service cuts are not inevitable. Nurses are organizing to demand hospitals make a different choice: Patients over profits!

Nurses and our allies delivered a letter to MedStarHealth management: We demand Washington Hospital Center restore the vital care our patients depend on and reopen the postpartum unit!

Black women make up 84% of pregnancy-related deaths in D.C., despite accounting for just 31% of births. We're demanding MedStar Washington Hospital Center reopen its shuttered postpartum unit in the midst of the Black maternal health crisis. Nurses won't accept anything less!

Today, nurses are putting D.C. on RED ALERT! D.C. hospitals could lose up to $223MM annually due to H.R. 1 budget cuts, and some hospitals like MedStar Washington Hospital Center are already cutting services! Nurses are fighting because we know it doesn't have to be this way!

1,000+ nurses at Endeavor Health Edward Hospital just filed to unionize with NNU/NNOC! 💪 Rush. St. Mary’s. Olympia Fields. Now Edward. Chicagoland RNs are standing together to protect patients and raise standards. Join us: go.nationalnursesunited.org/signup/organ...

Nurses' Red Alert Save our Hospitals Tour is rolling into D.C. this weekend to protest @MedStarHealth closing Washington Hospital Center's postpartum unit. Join us to demand the hospital restore vital care our patients depend on! RSVP to join us: https://act.nnu.org/signup/red-alert-tour-dc/

Our collective action reinstated these nurses! ✅ Marching on the boss ✅ Striking & picketing with thousands of nurses ✅ Working with elected officials ✅ Driving community calls But the fight isn't over. Tell Prime to reinstate ALL the nurses: bit.ly/4yxK1xb

Nurses ✊ shut ✊ it ✊ down ✊ in San Francisco today to demand Palantir out of our health care, out of our communities, and out of our society.

Nurses were thrilled to have our longtime ally @sanders.senate.gov join us this morning to talk about our broken health care system and our fight for something better: #MedicareForAll!

TOMORROW in SF: Thousands of nurses, patients, + allies mobilizing to say, Surveillance tech has no place in our healthcare systems! Join @nationalnurses.bsky.social to demand all public institutions, universities, pension funds, companies, hospitals, + health care providers divest from Palantir!

Don't fall for the utopian view of A.I. being sold: The A.I. tech health care employers are rolling out in our workplaces is untested, unproven, unregulated,  and ultimately benefits their profit margin — not patients or nurses. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

When you've been a nurse since the 70s, you've seen decades of change, and not all of it good. But as CNA/NNOC President Cokie Giles, RN reminds us: "Enough people carrying torches can light up even the darkest future." 🔥 Keep passing the torch.

Nurses and our allies are kicking off the People vs. Palantir: Global Week of Action this morning with activists from 30+ countries around the world! We heal. Palantir kills. Palantir has NO place in our health care system.

📢 If nurses are outside, something is WRONG inside! 📢 Nurses at Carondelet St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s hospitals picketed this week to demand management address staffing and patient care issues.

BREAKING: We just won our second Prime Healthcare election this week! Nurses at Central Maine Medical Center just voted to join our union. 🎉 Now we will have a true voice and a real seat at the table to advocate for our patients, colleagues, and our community!

History made in Baltimore! Nurses at Ascension Saint Agnes just won the first union contract for private-sector nurses in the city! This is what solidarity looks like. ✊ 🎉

We did it! Nurses at Olympia Fields are the latest to join our mighty, mighty union. This win proves to Prime: When you take on one of us, you take on all of us! ✊https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/olympia-fields-nurses-vote-overwhelmingly-to-join-national-nurses-organizing-committee

🎶 I believe that we will win! I believe that WE WILL WIN! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN! 🎶 What an incredible feeling of victory for the ~400 nurses at Prime Healthcare Olympia Fields who just won our union election! 🎉

From one group of organizing nurses to another: Vote #UnionYES! Olympia Fields nurses, this is your last chance to get those votes in! 🗳️ 6:00 - 9:00PM CT Hospital Conference Room 20201 S. Crawford Avenue Olympia Fields, IL 60461

❌ Not enough critical supplies, ❌ Chronic short staffing, and ❌ Retaliation for speaking up for patient care. Prime has a pattern of putting its profits over patient safety and we won't stand for it! It's prime time for nurses to organize! Vote YES on Sept. 23! 🗳️

Congratulations to the nurses at Ascension St. Agnes who just ratified a new contract with strong measures to improve patient safety and nurse retention. This is the first union contract for private-sector nurses in Baltimore! 🎉 https://bit.ly/4xvQJT3

From suspending and firing nurses, to cutting services after promising to maintain them, there are NO crimes Prime isn’t willing to commit in its pursuit of profit.

When you love your hospital and patients, you fight to make it even better! Baltimore nurses at Medstar Franklin Square rallied with the community to demand safe staffing. MedStar makes millions in profits, it's about time they invest in patient care! ✊

Nurses are in Maine 🚨sounding the alarm!🚨 ↪️ Trump's budget cuts will endanger the hospitals & services our communities rely on. ↪️ Profit-driven hospital corporations will use the funding crisis to shortchange our patients even more. We're rallying for a better future!

While the Trump administration diverts health care funding into its anti-immigration terror campaign, nurses are mobilizing to PROTECT our communities. Maine nurses are in Bangor fighting for a future that centers care, not fear! ✊

Whether it is unchecked A.I. replacing nurses, hospital execs pulling 8-figure salaries while patients crowdfund their care, or people rationing insulin while big pharma posts record profits; this isn't left vs right. It's the ultra-wealthy vs everyone else.

When 35,000+ nurses stand with one message, we're impossible to ignore! Our message for Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health is clear: We're ready to fight for #SafeStaffing, A.I. protections, and stronger patient care. ✊

Prime RNs: Make your voices heard ✊ VOTE UNION YES! Olympia Fields: Wed, Sept 23 Hospital Conference Room, 20201 S. Crawford Ave 6-9AM | 11AM-1PM | 6-9PM Central Maine: Thurs, Sept 24 T1 Boardroom, 300 Main St 6:30-9AM | 2-3PM | 6-8:30PM

When you take on one of us, you take on all of us! The evidence? 2,800 nurses are united in support of our union siblings who have been targeted by Prime for speaking up for patient care. Our solidarity is more powerful than Prime's greed!

When Prime Healthcare suspended six nurses at Olympia Fields Hospital for speaking up for patient safety — then fired two of them! — they thought it would silence us. They were wrong. We're louder than ever and on strike to say: Reinstate the nurses and put patients over profits!

🚨 Prime Crime update: Our union election at Saint Francis Hospital has been cancelled due to Prime's illegal interference with nurses’ right to unionize! https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nlrb-blocks-union-election-due-to-prime-healthcares-illegal-interference
