Kaiser nurses rally for better patient care, staffing

Nurses at Kaiser Permanente hospitals and clinics across California are taking a stand today.

The issue is not money, but staffing. Nurses claim there is not enough of them to take care of patients.

"Well, we don't have enough time to spend with our patients. We don't have the resources to take care of them. So that provides unsafe patient care," said Diane Koorsones, Kaiser bargaining team.

The nurses' contract expires at the end of the month. A statement from Kaiser human resources says the company is bargaining in good faith - adding: "we respect and value our nurses, who are the best in health care. We comply with state mandated nurse staffing ratios, and often exceed them."
