California Hospital Association Files Appeal

[nursinghumor]

Thursday March 17: California Hospital Association Files Appeal Seeking to Overturn Nurse Ratio Ruling:"The California Hospital Association (CHA) has filed an appeal seeking to overturn a recent ruling by the Sacramento County Superior Court that invalidated common-sense modifications to California's nurse-to-patient ratio regulations. The appeal was filed with the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento. In addition to the appeal, CHA also has asked the Appellate Court to immediately stay the lower court's ruling during the appeals process."

We all knew this was coming right? The hospital association is going to fight the ratios tooth and nail. Especially know they have the governor's ear and support.

I give the judge who rules the governor's "administrative order" illegal a lot of credit. She set the state for the ratios to go into effect immediately!

Great Job!
