Judge rules governor illegally blocked new nursing staff ratios

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suffered a major potential setback Thursday when a judge tentatively ruled that he illegally blocked a law boosting the number of nurses needed to staff California's hospitals.


Sacramento County Judge Judy Holzer Hersher ruled tentatively in favor of a preliminary injunction to lift emergency state regulations that stopped the law — the first of its kind nationally — from taking effect Jan. 1.


Holzer Hersher's ruling, the first step in several possible legal scenarios leading toward a trial, represented an early victory for the 60,000-member California Nurses Association, which has protested the governor's decision in numerous public settings for months. The union nurses have marched on the Capitol, flown message-trailing planes over the governor's home and picketed his speeches and public events. In turn, Schwarzenegger said during a recent women's day event that he was "kicking their butts."


Thursday's court decision sets the stage for a 10 a.m. hearing Friday in Sacramento Superior Court where lawyers for the governor, California Hospital Association and California Nurses Association will conduct oral arguments regarding the ruling.

:kick:

Go CA nurses!!!

like the special interest nurse union does not represent the actual nurses. what a dumbass.

read in the LA Times to day that arnold's spokesperson cannot understand that the teachers ARE the teachers union...as if the union is totally unrelated to actual teachers....what a dumb ass.

PS - if i was a nurse and arnold came injured to my hospital I would be very conflicted about giving him care unless he paid cash up front.

I just completed an e-mail to the gov on this very matter expressing my opposition to his action lowering the nurse ratio.

I didn't know what authority he used to lower the ration to begin with.

Hope the hearing supports the nurses and re-establish the ratio.

"Critics have called the CNA-sponsored law a move by organized labor to increase the number of dues-paying union nurses nationally."

These same critics would be shocked, *shocked*, by any accusations that profits and bottom lines are motivating the blockage of these new requirements. What a racket.

him recalled. Aahnold must be getting a little pissed by now that when he says "Jump!" , instead of people saying "How high?" they are saying "Up yours!"

On Edit: It also must really chaff Arnie's butt that it is a bunch of "girls" that is kicking his butt. He is probably going home to Maria and whining, "Why do those wimmen hate me so much?"

SACRAMENTO (AP) - In a significant blow to Gov. Arnold Scwarzenegger, a judge has ruled that he acted illegally when he delayed implementation of a state law requiring hospitals to have at least one nurse for every five patients.

"Choo nurses I vill teach chooze a big lesson!"

I hate him. Take that you freak.

After all, you didn't see me saying "bush licker" anywhere, now did you? (until now, but that's another story...)

Illegally. Broke the law. Crime. Should be punished. How about jail? Men in there would looooooooooooooooooooooove Arnie.

if it ever came to that. I think he should have to reimburse the taxpayers of CA and the Nurses' Association for his games with them
and causing them to incur legal and travel expenses.

He's a crook...we can only hope the law will apply to him too! I never
voted for that jerk either. I would have preferred Father Guido Sarducci!

of one of those nurses who KICKED AHNOLD'S BIG FUGLY BUTT!! Next up?
teachers and state employees will KICK AHNOLD'S BUTT with his trying
to steal pensions worked for and hand them to Wall Street (just like
his fugly hero, *) is trying to do with our SS!

DOWN WITH FUGLY THIEVING REPUKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They did and continue to do an amazing job of pumping his iron. It's a lesson for all on how to handle bullies.

Every bulletin that comes out of our school district is devoted to beating back this bully in sacramento. what a liar.
