ONA president Rick Lucas helps close out #NationalNursesWeek by reminding us that "appreciation cannot just be a thank you. It has to be action: safe staffing, real investment, respect for our profession & a commitment to keeping human care at the center of healthcare." aftvoices.org/appreciation...

Nurses are the backbone of healthcare. That's why this week -- Nurses Week -- and every week, ONA is fighting for the conditions and resources nurses need to ensure the best outcomes for their patients. #NationalNursesWeek #safestaffingsaveslives

Nurses Week is a time to honor the expertise, leadership, and relentless advocacy nurses bring to the bedside and beyond. But appreciation without action is not enough.

May 1st is International Labor Day. Today, don't just celebrate worker power, make a plan to use it. Because worker power is how we come together. And civic action is how we turn that power into real change. #MayDay2026

The Ohio Board of Nursing changed the timelines during which licensed nurses can earn CE hours. ONA sent a letter to the Board today, demanding they notify all licensed nurses and ensure no nurses are penalized for the Board's lack of communication. Ohio's nurses deserve better.

Nurses Week recognizes the profound impact nurses have on patient care, the healthcare system & communities. @osuwexmed.bsky.social is "celebrating" Nurses Week by talking to highly trained lifesaving professionals like they're kindergarteners. It's condescending, belittling, and disrespectful.

“He could have killed me… I thought I was going to die.” An Ohio nurse after being assaulted. Nearly 1,000 emergencies, rising aggression, weapons still inside—and no data on injuries, staffing, or accountability. This isn’t progress. It’s a workplace violence crisis.

Mount Carmel East Hospital didn’t just fire a nurse—they sent a message: stay silent or you’re next. ⚠️ Ashley Lantto spoke up on unsafe care. They retaliated—then fired her husband too. ❌ This is union-busting. Nurses won’t back down. ✊ Learn more: ohnursepower.com/learn-more

150 protesters gathered outside the OSU Hospital on Sunday, Feb. 22, calling on OSU to remove Wexner’s name from campus buildings due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Organized by the ONA, the protest drew nurses, students, survivors, and community members chanting, “Wexner’s name has got to go."
