Health Information Technology:
Panacea or Trojan Horse?
Many healthcare reform proponents claim that new health information technologies (HIT) are the medicine for what ails us, that they will contain costs by increasing efficiency. Why is this claim so frequently repeated despite contradiction by the Congressional Budget Office? This class will examine the interests that stand to gain from broad adoption of HIT.

H1N1 Updates For RNs
As the H1N1 (swine influenza) pandemic escalates in our facilities and our communities, the CNA/NNOC Board of Directors has adopted a position statement on the role of the RN in combating H1N1 and protecting our patients and ourselves, and a policy statement on whether the H1N1 vaccine should be mandatory for RNs. We also remain very concerned about the ongoing gaps and failures of many hospitals to provide adequate safety precautions for patients, families, nurses, and other healthcare workers.

CNA/NNOC RNs rally for EFCA in front of Sen. Feinstein's SF home.
60 million American workers have expressed interest in belonging to a union. 79 percent of them agree they are likely to be fired for trying to form one. It’s time put the era of union-busting behind us. New legislation can end union-busting. The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would make it possible to elect a union by collecting signed union cards from the majority of workers on a job. EFCA will provide a democratic process to workers seeking union representation, without giving management the lead time necessary to coordinate an attack on workers’ rights to freely associate and organize.
