Nurse Union Chief: 84% of Nurses Say Hospitals Not Holding Essential Ebola Training

Friday on MSNBC’s “NewsNation with Tamron Hall,” the co-president of the National Nurses Union Jane Ross said 84 percent of nurses say their hospitals are still not holding the essential interactive training programs for Ebola.

Hall asked, “As I understand it, the National Nurses Union recently took a survey 84 percent say, of the nurses their hospital is still not holding the essential interactive training programs and more than a third say inadequate supplies of protective gear. Was that taken before the two nurses contracted Ebola? Is this a recent figure, 
84 percent?”

Ross answered, “Yes, we keep updating our numbers. It started before the nurses in Dallas were infected. We have now over 3,000 responses. 900 hospitals in every state.”
