Sharon Kisling, SEIU NV Member & her son

Sharon Kisling was among the speakers at a press conference today in Las Vegas. “More and more working families can’t afford the rising cost of health care – and they don’t qualify for state programs because they make too much money,” said Sharon Kisling a supervisor with the Clark County Department of Family Services. “The middle class is getting squeezed.”

Renown Nurses Hold Candle Light Vigil for Patient Care

Renown Nurse Candle Light Vigil

Nurses at Renown Regional Medical Center held a candle light vigil to highlight hospital management’s continued reluctance to negotiate a contract addressing nurses’ patient care concerns. Nurses are standing united for nurse-to-patient ratios and other policies that will help recruit and retain experienced nurses at the bedside, where patients need them.

“I’ve worked at a lot of hospitals,” said Stu Talley, a nurse for nearly 24 years who has spent the last five at Renown. “I know that Reno residents deserve a community hospital with a stronger commitment to their patients and their hospital staff than Renown. Nurses and healthcare workers should have the tools and support they need to provide safe, high quality care.”
