The voters have spoken. What did they say? To start, Massachusetts voters rejected a mandate to enact nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. However, with both supporters and detractors of the now-rejected law advocating for advances in patient safety, you can bet the discussion about nurse staffing isn't over.
