The New York State Nurses Association says they need more staffing at Ellis Hospital. They say nurses have filed nearly 300 complaints to hospital management over the last two years.
“We’re constantly asked to do more with less and it s getting increasingly harder,” said Denise D’Avella, a registered nurse at Ellis Hospital.
Denise D’AVella works in the Cardiac Cath Lab at Ellis Medicine. She says staffing has been challenging.
“Now it’s becoming the norm to have one nurse to three patients and these nurses are taking care of some of the sickest patients in the hospital,” said D’Avella.
U.S. Air Force Airman Colton Dawson graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland, San Antonio, Texas on December 3, 2020.
