Nurses petition OGH to fix 'staffing crisis'

Olean General Hospital nurses say their understaffing has reached crisis levels, while hospital officials deny such a crisis exists and say the nurses’ efforts are part of a larger political agenda. The Olean chapter of the New York State Nurses Association, which represents approximately 200 registered nurses at OGH, announced this week it is circulating a petition demanding the OGH administration “fix the staffing crisis once and for all.”
