After a long, arduous battle, nurses at Longmont United Hospital were victorious and will now become the first private hospital in Colorado to join the National Nurses United union.
"Nurses are the backbone of the hospital, and we know what’s best for our patients," said Tricia Hartley, a registered nurse in the labor and delivery department at Longmont United.
"We just want to see safe care, and we've seen our nurse-to-patient ratios moving in an unsafe direction and we want to stop that."
