It's a fight that never ended, even when Massachusetts voters defeated a 2018 ballot question that would have set limits to the number of patients assigned to hospital nurses.
That fight, called a matter of life and death by the nurses who work bedside in the state's hospitals, was taken up by legislators in this new session with the filing of bill H.D.2491 by state Sen. Lydia Edwards, D-Boston and Rep. Natalie Higgins, D-Leominster.
