I am writing as your constituent in the 4th Congressional district of Georgia. I support S.58 - Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act of 2011, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
I am a registered nurse and I feel that passing this Act will increase the quality of patient care, decrease days spent in the hospital and therefore decrease the amount of the hospital bill.
Sincerely,
Gwendolyn Montgomery
