Nurses want rest of U.S. to follow California’s lead in Ebola protection
State establishes mandatory guidelines for healthcare worker PPE, training
National Nurses United (NNU) is calling on other states to follow the mandatory safeguards recently established by California to protect nurses, other health workers, and the public from the threat of the deadly Ebola virus.
California state officials updated Ebola guidance for all California hospitals that require the optimal level of personal protective equipment, comprehensive training procedures, and other protocols that mirror the standards NNU and the California Nurses Association RNs have campaigned for in California and across the nation for two months.
