Reports that a family was detained by ICE while at a hospital for their 7-year-old child are very alarming. No parent or child should be subjected to this level of fear, especially in hospitals. They deserve access to quality and timely healthcare. Read more: Oregonrn.org/ICEDetainsFamilyatAdventist

Asante is turning away nurses that are willing and able to fill shifts while choosing to close units and run short-staffed. They are requiring nurses to sign away protected pay in order to fill shifts, an anti-union policy that is putting patients at risk. Read more here: https://ow.ly/Vtun50XXGVw

Life is better in a union. #unionpower

When providers are taken care of, patients get the best care. Pack the line at Legacy Emanuel tomorrow at noon to support striking @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social APPs!

Without @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social advanced practice providers, like Astin, a general surgery nurse practitioner at Legacy Mount Hood, preventative care appointments wouldn’t be possible.

Legacy Health, in #Portland, says it will terminate health coverage for its striking advanced practice providers (APPs) & their families on Jan. 1, 2026. The strike started on Dec. 2, 2025, to protest inequitable working conditions. www.opb.org/article/2025...

We think our members are pretty fang-tastic! Happy Halloween from ONA 🎃👻

Hunger should never be a bargaining chip. We’ve joined 225 Oregon orgs urging USDA Sec. Rollins and Congress to act now. Due to the shutdown, 757k+ Oregonians—1 in 6—could lose SNAP benefits in November even though the USDA has $5B to prevent this crisis. Read the letter: https://ow.ly/Unsq50XjqQn

APPs at Legacy Health voted to authorize a strike after more than 1 1/2 years of stalled contract negotiations. Execs have refused to offer a fair contract that gives them a voice at work, and compensation that will recruit and retain qualified staff. Read more at https://ow.ly/co2z50Xc5zB

Oregon caregivers & hospital staff have released a statement condemning Trump's decision to deploy troops in Portland: "Our communities and our healthcare system need investment, not violence and intimidation." @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social @ofnhp.bsky.social www.oregonrn.org/page/stmt_tr...

The healthcare system depends on APPs to keep communities safe, healthy and strong. 🏥 #NationalAPPWeek #APPWeek #NP #PA #CNM #CNS

ONA condemns President Trump’s recent statements advising pregnant women to “avoid Tylenol at all costs” and proposing FDA warning labels against acetaminophen use in pregnancy. These claims lack scientific support and risk undermining trust in evidence-based care.

Thank you to the AFT paraprofessionals, healthcare heroes, and union leaders in Oregon who came out tonight. Your support, and your work every day, make all the difference. @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social @ofnhp.bsky.social

Medicaid is healthcare for 1 in 3 Oregonians. But Congressman Cliff Bentz is supporting a rushed and reckless plan to terminate coverage for thousands of his constituents – all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Today on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army we honor our fellow Americans that dedicated their lives to protect our country. For as long as we have had a military we’ve had nurses and other healthcare professionals serving on the frontline. We honor their skill, bravery, and dedication. #flagday

@oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social nurses, pros, and techs at Legacy have been bargaining with the healthcare giant for over a year. Legacy is slow walking these negotiations, and it’s costing workers and patients.

Marching to protect moms and babies! Nurses, patients and newborns joined the Lebanon Strawberry Festival parade this week to continue our fight to save the birth center and emergency surgery team at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital. actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

Cutting Multnomah County’s public health programs will destroy our safety net, endanger our community's most vulnerable residents and increase costs and health risks for nearly every member of our community. Read more 👉 www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Recently nurses associations across the country came together express profound concern over the Trump Administration’s recent rollback of federal guidance mandating hospitals to provide emergency abortion care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). (1/3)

June 1 is will be a big day for nurses in Oregon! It's the day that the Oregon Health Authority will assess fines for hospitals violating staffing complaints. So mark your calendars and learn more about what you can do through the link in our bio! #safestaffing #nursestaffing #hospitalstaffing

If I have any Oregon mutuals, I’ll be speaking at this rally tomorrow and would encourage everyone to attend if possible. I’m proud to be a @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social RN and proud to be a chairperson for my union. We can’t let them close the birthing centers.

Republicans passed huge Medicaid cuts & now our members + their patients are paying the price. PeaceHealth just laid off dozens of health professionals, directly blaming federal cuts. This is what happens when politicians put tax breaks for the wealthy over care for families.

ADD YOUR NAME: Don’t hurt families receiving Medicaid and SNAP to give tax cuts to billionaires! actionnetwork.org/letters/reco...

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

We represent unions that have workers in every industry in every corner of the state. It’s this strength that we must draw on for the fights ahead. We are proud to back Legacy hospitalists and NW Medicine United @aft.org @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract.

14 million Americans will lose health coverage if the GOP passes this bill. #AmericansNeedMedicaid

Congress wants to gut Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires in the middle of the night. Unlike most members of Congress, this isn't the first night shift for healthcare union leaders. We're watching. We'll continue to fight for our patients. We know #AmericansNeedMedicaid

Without Medicaid many rural hospitals will close. We owe it to rural communities to reject Medicaid cuts. #AmericansNeedMedicaid

The Oregon Nurses Association is excited to be a part of Bluesky! We hope that through this platform we can continue to connect with our members, healthcare professionals, and unionists to improve healthcare and worker rights in our communities.
