Nurses stand up for patient care at information walks

Members of UNA Local 302N at an information walk organized outside the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.
Visit NursesMakeTheDifference.ca and tell Health Minister Fred Horne that nurse layoffs are unacceptable.

United Nurses of Alberta members are organizing information walks in communities across Alberta to raise awareness of the impact nurse layoffs will have on patient care. Many nurses participating in the information walks will be wearing white to demonstrate their pride in their profession and their support for their patients and their families.
