Dozens of nurses packed into a City Council hearing Wednesday to sound the alarm over dangerously low staffing levels.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

These shortages have been decried before, during and after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Prior to hours of testimony Wednesday afternoon, the nurses and their union, the New York State Nurses Association, held a protest on the steps of City Hall to demand hospitals increase staffing levels and offer them a fair deal in their ongoing contract negotiations with executives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the oversight and accountability of the state and the city elected officials, they will do the bare minimum. We need the elected officials to help us,\u201d said NYSNA President Nancy Hagans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will staff at the bare minimum. They will reduce our health care to the bare minimum. They will treat nurses as expendable \u2014 not essential. In short, they will put profit over patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later that day, during her testimony before the Council\u2019s Hospitals Committee, Hagans cited the declining number of nurses throughout the state \u2014 due in part to burn out and long-COVID \u2014 as well as a city comptroller report that found more than 4,300 COVID-related deaths would likely have been prevented if four-to-one patient-to-nurse staffing ratios were implemented during the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese numbers tell the tale of decades of negligence and failed practices,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Vivienne Phillips, a registered nurse at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, which falls under the One Brooklyn Health umbrella, described dangerously thin staffing levels right now and having to work under patient-to-nurse ratios of 8 to 1 in Kingsbrook\u2019s acute rehab unit.<\/p>\n

Until very recently, she said that about 90% of the nurses working at the hospital were \u201cagency\u201d nurses \u2014 essentially freelancers without the same level of benefits as more permanent staffers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have eight patients to take care of, you\u2019re not capturing everything,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This, she said, is further exacerbated by the way management calculates what level of staffing is needed. For instance, Phillips said that if a patient is coming in for rehab after a stroke, that will be the only condition that\u2019s accounted for when estimating the level of care needed \u2014 even if a patient has other conditions that may interact with a rehab regimen.<\/p>\n

One Brooklyn Health did not return calls seeking a response to Phillips\u2019 remarks.<\/p>\n

Lorraine Ryan, a senior vice president with the Greater New York Hospital Association, which represents hospitals in both the city and throughout the region, claimed during her testimony that hospitals \u201cdon\u2019t have the funding to actually ensure that some of these problems are addressed adequately.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Councilwoman Sandy Nurse (D-Brooklyn) brought up executive pay, citing the millions of dollars in annual compensation hospital executives in the city make, and asked why such compensation is necessary compared to nurses\u2019 wages, Ryan appeared flummoxed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t compare a CEO\u2019s salary to a nurse\u2019s salary, per se,\u201d she said. \u201cHospital CEO compensation reflects the, um, the level of competition that the region bears. Um, it reflects the need for skills and leadership necessary to operate large, very complex organizations that are open 24-7, um, and that, um, are often the largest employer in the community. So, they\u2019re, I\u2019m just giving you, you know, background on understanding the context of your question. I can\u2019t answer your question specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exactly what the City Council can, or is willing, to do to address nurses\u2019 concerns remains unclear.<\/p>\n

Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who spoke at the protest outside City Hall, told the Daily News the primary tool the Council can employ is oversight, but that she also plans to explore the potential for new policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also taking a look at, of course, continuing to speak with our nurses, our advocates around more legislation,\u201d she said. \u201cWe will continue to work with our state partners to figure this out, to do the best by our nurses. I think that there\u2019s still more that can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams did not outline what those new policies might be, but one possible direction the Council might take is pursuing legislation from Manhattan Councilwoman Julie Menin that would hit hospitals with financial penalties if they don\u2019t provide pricing data that\u2019s now nearly impossible for the public to access.<\/p>\n

Councilwoman Mercedes Narcisse (D-Brooklyn), a retired nurse and chair of the body\u2019s Hospitals Committee, is focusing on another approach: engaging hospital CEOs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been doing it,\u201d she said, but added that the Council\u2019s oversight function is likely to be more effective. \u201cWe need to expose folks for what they\u2019re doing, and if they\u2019re doing something wrong, that\u2019s the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hagans offered another suggestion during her testimony when she pointed to hospitals with non-profit, tax-exempt status.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city should look at their tax exemptions and use its zoning and regulatory power to make them improve working conditions and patient care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
