Children are the purest of heart….at a pivotal age of being shaped and molded. They are learning who they are and trying to understand their feelings, trying to manage and discover their environment.

The beautiful minds of these young souls are like sponges, devouring and absorbing so much around them. Some of these young ones are fortunate to be in a positive environment to grow, while others are at a disadvantage that may stifle their progress.

It is in these moments that OSUNO RNs had an opportunity to step away from bedside nursing to go out into the community to contribute to the nurturing and support of some amazing young children. We had another SUCCESSFUL outing passing out books to K thru 5 kiddos at Binns Elementary!!!! It was so humbling and rewarding to see the students excited about learning new things, unlocking new worlds, venturing off to new places, and feeding their minds through reading!!! Experiencing it all was pure nourishment and joy to our souls❣️

🗣️Shoutout to AFT Nurses & Health Professionals for supplying the grant for the books📚

Our nurses and health professionals should be able to focus on patient care and not have to worry about their personal safety.

💙 This is why unions matter.

When our members are hurt, they don’t stand alone. We’re here to support, advocate, and fight for safer workplaces.

✊ Union strong.

Unfortunately, the Koch brothers, the DeVoses, and their billionaire buddies at the Freedom Foundation are at it again.

Let’s be clear about this: the billionaires funding this campaign are not trying to give their wealth away like W***y Wonka. They are trying to weaken unions across the country, including OSUNO, so that the ultra-rich can underpay, overwork, and exploit nurses everywhere.

This golden ticket isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. We’d encourage all members who receive this ticket to throw it in the nearest chocolate river.

We don’t just talk the talk on patient and nurse safety, we walk the walk. That’s why we went to the Ohio state house to advocate for HB 521 & HB 535/SB 373. HB 521 establishes minimum nurse-to-patient ratios across Ohio hospitals, while HB 535/SB 373 strengthens care committees and ensures direct care nurses have a meaningful role in making sure staffing is safe.

We’re proud to show up and advocate for good practices in OSU and across the great state of Ohio!
