We Are Not Prepared For Ebola! NNU CNA UCSF Nurses Demand Mandatory Protocols
Nurses who are members of the NNU CNA at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco spoke out about their concerns on October 28, 2014. They called on Governor Brown, Cal-OSHA and President Obama to institute mandatory protocols for the protection of nurses, hospital staff, patients and the public. Associate Medical Officers For UCSF Dr. Adrienne Green opposed mandatory protocols and said the hospital could not train all the nurses who have contact with patients. She also said that the hospital which has been training for many months has set up a Ebola unit but has not hired any new staff for these additional tasks.
